The data should be easy to obtain. Since ASS systems are relatively new to the US market and only mandated for the EU in 2022 with a implementation date of July 2024, it should be easy to pick out what cars have failed engines at relatively low miles correlated to ASS systems in those cars. There shouldn't be that many, so the cause of failure should be obvious. And the data should skew towards owners who live in large metropolitan areas that have a lot of stop-and-go traffic and a street grid system of lots of intersections with traffic lights and stop signs.
Until some one can post such data, it's just conjecture.
