Software and Cars Don't Mix

When your car crashes, aren't you glad that software engineers don't write the deployment software? For instance, if:

Microsoft wrote it: "Are you really sure you want to deploy your airbags?"

Apple wrote it: "You can only enable airbags on up to five separate cars connected to your account."

Linux devs wrote it: "Couldn't find the drivers!"

UNIX devs wrote it: "What's a 'crash'?"

If the deployment code was written in Java, it would take 30 seconds to deploy.
If the deployment code was written in HTML, each car maker would deploy the airbags differently.
