The problems you mention are valid (bugs that result in accidents & closed source algorithms) but the example is unlikely. Surely, carmakers will not allow vehicles to respond to commands in such a literal way that would definitely result in an accident. For example, if the voice recognition hears "stop the car" the response will be to stop the car, but safely rather than immediately/unsafe. This goes for all other valid commands. The alternative to a safe execution will be a prompt requesting clarification because the command cannot be safely executed, cannot be understood, etc.

(responding to my friend's question) This is a valid response. Yes, but this is the case if the assistant has a bug, so the safety meter isn't working quite properly.
