I mean I think it's kind of hard to fuck up a banana but if anyone can do it it's large grocery store chains...
I've got bad news for you: all the banana you ever ate are fucked up. "Real" bananas with actual banana flavor called "Gros Michel" are practically extinct since the 1950, when they were wiped out by the banana blight. Nowadays, all you get is literal clones of the tasteless Cavendish.

The link you provide is a really bad example. Specifically it says In total, six vehicles passed the school bus while it was stopped., and Once stopped, the ADS-equipped vehicle contacted remote assistance with a prompt asking, “is this a school bus with active signals?” [...], a remote assistance agent located in Novi, Michigan, replied “No” to the prompt.
So first of all, 5 human drivers illegally passed the school bus during this specific incident, and the "autonomous" car was explicitly given the go ahead by a human, because the "autonomous" functions were uncertain how to proceed. By my counting, that's 6 bad drivers, all human.

What we need to do is to require AI representatives be as legally bound as an actual human employee. Then watch the corps be extremely careful in what roles they deploy these agents.
That has already happened. Air Canada was found to be legally liable for information provided by their AI.

If those 500 "high security" vulnerabilities (in Ghostscript? We're using Ghostscript in high security situations now? Are printer makers running it as root or something?)
That's "high severity," as in e.g. code execution. Ghostscript is a candidate for code execution by just displaying a PDF or printing a postscript file. Ghostscript as an external filter for PS, PDF etc. may still be part of the default installation of ImageMagick on many Linux distributions.

The devices — made with microchips 0.7 square millimetres in size — are embedded in shipping labels stuck to the shrink-wrapped bundles of items trucked from warehouses to stores
That indicates that the chip is 0.7 mm, but it makes no claim whatsoever about the antenna and potentially other electronics (e.g. capacitors) that may be included in the full device. I'd assume that the antenna covers the back of the entire label.
