A thing I've noticed is that motherboards tend to fail before processors do but the interface standards for them has changed so you can't use a perfectly good CPU with a newer motherboard, meaning you have to replace both (and probably RAM as well.)

(This happened to me a couple of years ago and I ended up replacing (most of) the whole computer.)

A human driver assisted by the kinds of tech used by self-driving cars will always be safer than an autonomous vehicle.

(Also, I'm pretty sure any findings showing SDCs to be safer involves a lot of goalpost moving.)
