The bus is just another aeroplane. But with better seats.

There are numerous incidents where bus pilots have made dual inputs.
Yes there is the procedure to use sidestick priority until full handover of controls is complete, but in the heat of the moment, particularly if not particularly experienced on Airbus, it's not the most naturally intuitive.

With all the magic in an Airbus I don't see why they couldn't have linked controls so you can feel or see what is happening to the stick and so would prevent the control conflict.
