European jet maker Airbus is taking an unprecedented step to expand
cockpit automation: onboard computers that will automatically maneuver
jetliners to avoid midair collisions, without any pilot input.

Known for its pioneering use of computers and software to push the
automation envelope, this time Airbus has decided to cross a new
threshold in replacing pilot decisions with computer commands.

Bus wanted to do the same with TAWS. Fortunately, us stupid peelots know
just enough to figure out which circuit creakers to pull and reset to fix
their pioneering computers and software.

I am still awaiting an explaination as to the propper procedure to
follow when the autopilot initiates an evasive manuever, immediatly
followed by the AirBus blue screen of death when the computers decide
it's time to recycle.
