Hey, I remember when Airbus did a demo of this tech back in the day. A pilot was coming in for a landing at an air show and the onboard computer said that he was being a silly idiot and locked up the controls, doing what it thought best. The plane flew into a forest and had a nice fire break out.
I still trust an experienced pilot more than a computer these days.
