Comments on USA using Auto-GCAS (Ground Collision Avoidance System) are spot on.
Good articles on websites below:

What Exactly Is Auto GCAS?

The Typhoon does have an automatic recovery system that is initiated by the pilot (the button was on the panel in front of the stick). When activated by the pilot the aircraft recovers itself.

Air shows preaching to the converted is a good point. As impressive as they are, there is not the public interest there used to be. I remember air shows being on TV when I was a kid, but I don't see them anymore.

That is the ground avoidance system question answered. What about automatic ejection systems? Probably by the time such a system could be reliably developed, pilots will no longer be in the aircraft?
