Electric power steering motors for example have dual windings so even if one of the two fails, the other can still power the steering. The car of course throws a catastrophic error, probably even goes into limp mode and forces the driver to stop ASAP to prevent any further issues. The amount of bureaucratic systems in place to develop these kinds of things in automotive fields would probably be quite surprising to many people, on the other hand there are a ton of products in the bike industry where it's really questionable if even the basic FMEA was made at...
