      I’ve never heard of anyone’s automatic transmission failing in a truly harmful way. Barely heard of any failing period, heard of plenty blown clutches though. Humans make way more mistakes than a well engineered machine

      Then you’ll have to buy only old cars as everything in the last few decades had its engine controlled by a computer or at least microcontrollers which are mini computers. You’re looking at mostly pre-1990 cars. These were the cars you could easily hot-wire as they didn’t have electronic security.
