If the system is heavily based on machine learning, there may be no such code bugs or algorithmic mistakes to find, no easy way to show exactly what went wrong and why a fix will prevent it from happening again.

The code is basically just an artifact used to create a digital mind. However, it's possible that digital mind is operating vehicles at the level of a chimpanzee.
