&gt; The 787 numbers are for avionics and flight systems<p>Agreed. 1&#x2F;10th may seem an exaggeration but given the complexities that one would imagine in 787 in comparison to a car, this seems astonishing. I wonder how many automotive software recalls today are due to avoidable opensource (or any code for that matter) that has low value density, and hence more liability to the manufacturers.
