I'd start with an auto stow system for the speedbrakes when you initiate a terrain pull up or windshear avoidance. Lack of it combined with pilot error has cost a-lot of lives already.

As long as the crew can override said auto features some of them may contribute to safety. Can you imagine though, just diverted, approaching final reserve fuel, finals to rwy, good visual and you get a spurious pull up and cannot overide it. Large pitch up angle, pumps uncovered, engines max chat, flame out, crash, die.
