Malfunctions: Either benign as discussed previously having zero impact on the flight or not benign requiring a non-normal situation and non-normal handling by ATC etc.
You might want to read about the multiple failures experienced by QF32. You might also want to note that the Flysmart program could not provide a useful solution for the LDR. It takes a long time to develop an airliner from scratch and that is with the pilots accounted for. My children will have retired before a remotely controlled airliner is in service.
