And how many times have you had a flat tire?

How many times has your toaster deleted your toast because Microsoft pushed a bad update?

(I had an Ecobee that just decided to try and freeze my family for funsies on a winter day when I was at work. Threw it out and replaced it with a dumb thermostat.)

Like twice in the 25 years I've been driving. Are you really trying to suggest that the failure rate of tires is comparable to that of computing devices? I lose one device or other about once every 4 months or so.

In over 60 years of driving maybe twice. Software doesn’t even come close. Read the part about merchantability and fitness for purpose.

Modern cars have a wireless pressure sensor failure instead.
