Good system under normal ops but it still presumably relies on what the computers are thinking. I think the idea posted earlier about a panic stop button which overrides the computers and throws out everything possible to stop the plane quickly (regardless of which mode the computer thinks it is in) would be a good idea - perhaps and extra button on the Autobrake system marked "EMG".
