Kinda tough to find what's applicable from this list:

6. The patently obvious design flaws in a vehicle or weapon system go uncorrected during the entire life cycle of the system in question.
The original humvee had issues with passenger armor back in 2004 - they could have been purchased with the armor but weren't.
13, Computers, when shot, explode as if they had been stuffed full of Roman candles.
The videos of laptop batteries catching fire are pretty sparkly. Not sure how that would actually interact with a gunshot.
25, On-board computers always know exactly how long it will take for the malfunction to blow up the ship.
The Tesla roadster battery stories seem to give warning and force drivers to stop and get out.
31. A robot that can't climb stairs is deployed in an area where stairs are common.
Roomba?
At the very least, we can make an existential argument about sci-fi cliches actually being accurate. I couldn't think of a good way to get historical science fiction cliches. But the thing about the future is it's unknown. some of Jules Verne's stuff worked out, like submarines and travel to the moon, and other stuff didn't, like time travel.
I guess the rational response to "the singularity" is to stick a number on the likelihood of that actually happening - and then getting on with your life.
I think you're thinking about the future in a funny way, you should give Nassim Nicholas Taleb's The Black Swan a read.
