Only a heavy-software run car might (e.g. a Tesla autopilot or the Uber fatality). But I agree with you. I fail to see how software bug in a car would lead to a comparable outcome.

I don’t think most people realize how software dependent their “dumb” car is. From antilock braking to throttle response to steering response in some cases is largely controlled by software. It goes way beyond the infotainment systems we intuitively think of as software

Electronically controlled throttles have been on the road for over 30 years now, and became extremely common in the mid 2000s.
