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.

A bicycle would be good in such circumstances!
Only if you're nimble enough to dodge all the cars trying to run you down.
