No, instead of clamouring for more technology to fix the problems created by technology, train the drivers better. 30 minutes buzzing around on raw data (including wingovers, steep turns climb/slow/turn exercises), with 15 minutes of eyes-closed UA recoveries. This will reconnect pilots with the aeroplane so they will be better able to 1/not get into a handflying disaster aka AF447 (and perhaps 8501) and 2/be able to recognise that they are in a stalled state, regardless of how they actually got there, aka AF447, and recover.

And of course remove hand-flying auto trim!!
