Reliability of automotive computer technology?

Cars these days are absolutely loaded with tech and screens all over. Maybe I'm in the minority but is anyone else worried about what these technologies will be like in 5, 10, even 15 years? As someone who is looking to pick up an M3 at some point and keep it long term, I have to wonder how these things like pedestrian collision systems, early braking, lane change steering wheel vibrations and the rest of the stuff will really be OK as the years progress? I'm not worried about the look of them, but more the 'what happens when these things break'.

Maybe I'm just untrusting of these technologies after some issues with electrical gremlins in some other cars, but I sometimes get the feeling that some of these cars are basically built to be disposable, with crazy amounts of technology to sell off the bat but long-lasting headaches.

Just a thought
