By the flash crash, you mean that market event where something went wrong for 20 minutes (due to a human error), but the system recovered all by itself before the end of the day (thanks primarily to electronic systems)?

That event which was exciting if you were an HFT, but which you can't actually find in a daily stock chart?

I'm hoping that self driving cars will be as robust as our electronic trading systems.
