I think you're misunderstanding why I'm concerned about closed-source software in this case. I'm not worried by bugs that will be included unintentionally in the accident-prevention aspects of the code: even if there are bugs they can be fixed and in the long run the software will be better. My concern is the things that will be put into closed source software intentionally: things that monitor where you go, things that can be used to control your car remotely. It adds a very fundamental attack vector in the war governments and corporations are waging on personal freedom and privacy. I would rather take responsibility for the relatively known risk of getting in a car accident than have all of society give up the ability to travel without the permission of their government. As Franklin said, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
