Sorry, you can't add the number of vehicles and conclude anything
about the number of lines of C code vs. COBOL code, particularly when
a large portion of it is based on wind river, linux and other embedded
operating environments (i.e. not bespoke).

Estimates of the number of lines of COBOL code running today range
from 750 to 800 billion lines.  Mostly bespoke.

There is only _one_ linux operating system source tree that everyone
shares.  Likewise for the Android user-level code as well.

COBOL code is almost completely bespoke.
