It says right there in the article. The 787 numbers are for avionics and flight systems. The number for the car probably includes the entertainment system, nav system, backup camera, etc all of which runs on some open source OS with hundreds of packages installed. 787's don't run on large numbers of open source packages for avionics and flight control.

I wonder how many automotive software recalls today are due to avoidable opensource (or any code for that matter) that has low value density, and hence more liability to the manufacturers.
