I think that his numbers are just the discovered anomalies.

The best approximation I had come up with so far is the product of "lines of code in a modern car" (100 million for a premium car in 2009) and "defect count per line of code in really critical software" (10-4). I had taken these numbers from an IEEE spectrum publication and a short paper from Gerard Holzmann, hoping that critical NASA software contains in average less bugs than common automotive code and the calculation, hence, gives me a conservative estimate. If anyone has a better idea or wants to share more accurate numbers, please let me know. :-)
