On the other hand, maybe I lowered the chance of that happening by removing my stock LKAS system. I believe your implicit argument is that the manufacturer and the subcontractors and integrators who made the stock vehicle have a lower defect rate than the OpenPilot engineers, which I’m not sure if there’s any data to support.
A lot more people drive the stock version than the OpenPilot one. All else being equal, it's more likely that OpenPilot has a serious bug than the stock system.
