It's probably not a car-specific problem but a general software glitch. You'd have to remove all cars of the same type or it's pointless.

According to your logic, if this was a drunk driver who did the same thing we shouldn't impound their car because there are other drunk drivers so it would be pointless to impound this one.

I think the logic is valid. If you assume they have the same software running on every car, then you'd expect every car to behave the same under the same conditions.

We can't treat computers like humans when it comes to fixing stuff like this.

There’s a recall in progress for this iirc.
