Cars are a poor example. There are some pretty wild safety issues in the car industry. In the U.S., energy efficiency regulations are weak, so car companies push huge SUVs and light pickups as the "perfect" family vehicles. These things are massive and not crash-compatible with normal-sized cars. If a big SUV hits you, you're in more danger than if it was a regular station wagon. Plus, those off-road capabilities mean they can hop a curb and take out a pedestrian. And the insane height? It's a nightmare for visibility. You can't see kids or pets in front of you. That's led to some awful driveway accidents. "Fully self-driving" cars aren't really self-driving, you still need to keep an eye on them, but the marketing suggests otherwise. A few self-driving cars occasionally emergency brake on a highway. Big modern touch screens in cars look sleek, tactile controls offer a safer and more intuitive way to adjust settings without taking your eyes off the road. Some cars such as the Fisker Ocean are unnecessarily unreliable, where the gear, brake, etc. system casually stop working while driving, asking you, the driver, to take a mental note of that and to please not shift gears for a while, for example. And don't get me started on car lights. Why is it that brake lights and turn signals can both be red? Why is it that they can share the same light? It's a mess. Then there's the remote control features with garbage access controls. There's been cases where someone remotely turned off a car's engine while it was driving. Talk about a scary security vulnerability.
