That tells me that there is a possibility to use this in hybrid engines. The compressed air could be used to give power for passing cars. The resulting cooling could be used to cool a main gasoline engine. In other cases it could be used in conjunction with electric engines because those have problems when high torque is needed. If compressed air could be when extra torque is needed, maybe this could reduce the need for rare earth magnets.

My feeling is that no true comparison can be made because the costs borne by the company making the mistake are only half the equation. The costs borne by stock holders or computer owners are ignored. By scaling the costs to inflation one gets a feeling that a more precise comparison is being made but it ignores the larger impact of the mistakes. There is no simple comparison to be made. It is all bragging rights.

One difference is that a slow moving wreck caused by humans with human consequences is within our toolset of things that we can react to and in some cases mitigate or avoid. A wreck that destroys things when you blink is on the wrong timescale for prudent reactions.

How about rickrolling?

Someone traveling. One day I really wanted to be home. The McDonald's breakfast I ate was consolation.
