A more accurate car analogy may be a lane assist system with access to the steering system having an undocumented fire hydrant avoidance module added that causes a car to veer into a jersey barrier because it happened to have a truck loaded with fire hydrants pull in front of it and brake.

At least in terms of the pilot's POV. I can't quite torture anything else to sufficiently resemble what chain of business decisions Boeing made to end up having their process drive them into this error state. It'll just have to stand on it's own merit. Though I've commented on it many times with much greater detail this year.
