Intermittent faults are common to all branches of technology, including computer software. An intermittent fault is caused by several contributing factors, some of which may be effectively random, which occur simultaneously. The more complex the system or mechanism involved, the greater the likelihood of an intermittent fault.
However, in case of arson, the fire does not always start in the interior or spread there. It is mandatory to carry an in-car fire extinguisher in some countries, such as Belgium, Bulgaria and Poland. [2] [better source needed] From 2003 to 2007 in the United States, there were 280,000 car fires per year, which caused 480 deaths. [3]

[ 32 ] Because intersection collisions often result in side-impacts, they are therefore often fatal because people are seated close to the part of the car that ...
