But then I would assume you also would need a competently different flight control computer architecture. On B737 each AoA sensor is afaik connected to each own FCC, if a FCC in one side fails, then the FCC in the other side can't access AoA data from the failed side. If an AoA sensor fails, then it need algorithms for identifying the faulted sensor, isolate it, and and likely also an EICAS display to convey this information to the pilots.
