TWO things CAN be true
1) Government and Media overblows the problem, and misses the real cause
2) There IS a problem, and it’s endemic to design in any fly-by-wire system without fail-safes and redundant computers
Just because you have hit on #1, don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
I have experience programming everything from microprocessors to Cray supercomputers —— Fly by wire is a BAD IDEA. PEOPLE WILL DIE.
People HAVE died.
Just because the extent and real nature of the problem is not well know does not mean it’s not true.
I will defer to your expertise on electronics. I just like to see more evidence on the failure of these things before I’m 100%.
The most computer any one of my vast car collection has is the GM ESC system except for my wife’s Town Car and that is pretty basic.
