I wonder how a computer flown A/C would have handled the situation an L-1011 pilot found himself in departing LAX, back in the early days of the L-1011 service life. The bearings for the full flying stab froze in the position called for at rotation. The pilot avoided the stall they were headed for by pulling back power on the wing mounted engines and increasing thrust on the rear engine. They managed to get the plane on the ground in one piece by learning to control pitch by changing the relative thrust between the rear and wing mounted engines.
A pilot of that caliber, combined with the best best in modern automation is how I want to get from point A to point B as PAX.
