Mechanical systems generally have well established failure modes, frequently related to parts wearing out with use. Often these failures can be predicted by warning signs or history of use.

Networked software systems generally have completely unknown and unpredictable failure modes.

Do you really want important infrastructure like your automobile dependent on networked software?
