I think he was being sarcastic, hinting that network computerized auto-mobile's having a similar glitch would be truly devastating.

If mankind can't get a tunnels systems to work all the time, then what about our plans to introduce computer controlled cars? A glitch could wipe out millions of lives before being patched, and even then if they get patched that also introduces huge areas of vulnerability.

I'm sure a stealth program that loads onto a car and waits till a date to kill the occupants will be used by someone or a nation-state in the future.
