I am reminded of the "HELP" system in the Airbus that would refuse Pilot input if it decided the pilot needed help.... ended up crashing one of their big planes into the ground..... killing all abord.

Yeah, of course. The machines we are using are starting to
get beyound our human capabilities.

That's why robotic fighters will soon be used. They travel
so fast and turn so hard, the G-forces will soon be able
to knock the pilot out. Already, pilots have to wear pressure
suits, and need how to learn how to keep blood pressure to the brain
so that they don't pass out in their high G turns.

Don't forget, many, many people die from falls in their
own home. Couple that propensity with a huge, high tech
machine, and you could have recipe for lots of disasters...

Your Airbus expertise would be helpful here.
