The key to that is more sensor distributed throughout the aircraft and a huge onboard database

Did you hear about the self recovery button on the cyclic of the H160 I think this a sign of things to come
I'm a big proponent of the capabilities of avionics. But at this point it has lost a major effector. While the auto-stab may have a mode that can help level, it could also help relieve torque, but what would it use to counter a yaw forcing, possibly even beyond the design limits? I suspect nothing, at least nothing that would change the game significantly for the pilot.
