Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I am under the impression they're only non-deterministic in the practical sense (i.e, it produces this output on my machine, I can't know what minute differences there are on your machine), but that's not non-deterministic in the truest sense. If you have completely identical inputs you will get the exact same output, ergo, deterministic.

Oh but you haven't heard of the 'Equitable Life Assurance Society'. Not just an organisation but a proper business until the 21st century.

Originally the "Society for Equitable Assurances on Lives and Survivorships", but obviously that wasn't hip enough to survive past the 19th century.

Decision trees are a type of Machine Learning, no need for the quotation marks.

Automatics don't use a traditional clutch for transmissions, so it wouldn't actually stall, but your other points could be true.

Replying to myself here because I can't edit it after someone has responded?

I meant wearing our brakes is cheaper to fix that engine parts.

Automatics disengage the driveshaft to save wear on engine parts. It's an active decision, not being "too dumb". Wearing out brakes is cheaper to fix than wearing out your brakes, and people like longer lasting, cheaper to fix, cars.

And in fact some systems are only usable because of their security. A bank that gives all accounts the same password could hardly be considered usable, neither could many websites if they did the same.
