The computers in the satellites aboard that space shuttle probably have a lot more money invested in to their stability than what a person who is currently driving a Ford Fiesta can afford. They're also probably not turned on...

All cars are now is computers with wheels, even a Ford Fiesta. The step to getting a car that is self-driving isn't as far as people think (IMO), the wide spread implementation of the self-driving car is farther off (IMO).
I can remember when ABS (a computer braking you vehicle for you) was a big selling point. "Does it have ABS?" "Do you need to pump your brakes with ABS?".
You make it sound like the current fleet of vehicles on the road are all Model T's.
