Your car's ABS is probably programmed in something more error-prone than Python, like C or the assembly language of whatever microcontroller runs it.

This gets more terrifying if you've ever experienced spurious ABS activation. It's the third scariest thing that's happened to me in a vehicle.

What are the first and fourth?
First was hydroplaning on a motorcycle.

Fourth was probably a makeshift bridge over a creek collapsing while crossing it as a passenger on an ATV. I was pretty young when that happened.
