Sure, I can see it now, you're zooming down the highway in the rain,
cruise control on.
Suddenly there's smoke because the wiper motor catches fire, you step
on the brake
but nothing happens because the retainer clip falls off, and the
cruise control won't shut off,.
As you drift into the shoulder towards that parked semi because the
intermediate steering shaft yoke fails and as the
right rear wheel spins by because the lug bolts fractured you wonder
if your seatbelt anchorage or buckles actually will function as
desired...
Perhaps the airbag will go off, but no the battery cable shorts out
just long enough before hand for the capacitors to bleed off
the energy needed to fire them just isn't there.
