Again, gums, where is the evidence that the flight computers did anything they were not commanded to by the handling pilot? The whole point of the graceful degradation in laws is that the guy in the seat notices as little difference in how he was handling the aircraft before compared to how the aircraft handles if something has gone south as possible!
You've basically just described the A330 (A320, A340, A380) and B777!
