Pro-Automation is NOT the issue.
It is the lack of quality control, testing, and qualified oversight, that is the issue.

I agree. Automation is not the problem.
Airbus aircraft have done very well with fly-by-wire and extensive automation. Their safety over the last 20 years is excellent.
Boeing rushed the 737Max and should have done a clean-sheet design.

Especially at the design stage. Changing engines to the big ass CFM LEAP 1 caused a major design issue.
To keep ground clearance, they moved the Nacelle forward , changing the CG of the aircraft, making it in effect an new plane for pilots, not just a new 737.
Also the top of the nacelle is level or even slightly above the wing, causes lift and drag issues on the wing itself.
If Boeing's CEO used his damn engineering degree he would have questioned this.
But he was using his CEO quarterly profit hat.

The system is a very rudimentary form of Artificial Intelligence, and the bugs have not all been worked out in the < E >< stop > programming.
You cannot know what you do not know, until you learn the hard way what you should have known.
It is called “gaining experience”.
