Car Crashes While Parked

Thailand’s finance minister had to be rescued from his car after the vehicle’s computer crashed.

Suchart Jaovisidha and his driver were trapped inside the BMW for more than 10 minutes before guards broke a window. All doors and windows had locked automatically when the computer crashed, and the air-conditioning stopped, officials said.

What was that line a few years back comparing crash-prone Windows with the auto industry? Looks like the distinction is no longer valid.
