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.
Ehhh, yes, it is not without reason, many people here write that the MAX should never have been designed and a clean-sheet restart should have been taken by Boeing. But, alas, that takes retraining, time, money and a loss of market share, due to being far too late with new developments at Boeing (in favor of shareholder pay-outs).
