Odd - it used to be during Reftra (refresher training assessment) on a ship one of the things they would do is eliminate all the electronics and force the crew to go back to basic manual things such as line of sight/celestial navigation, semaphore/flashing light comms, manual/gas powered pumps, hand loading munitions, etc...I’m guessing since training has supposedly gotten so bad that they’ve since abandoned a lot of the basic backups.

Though self steering systems are shut off when you want to steer it yourself. If it's hacked you can't shut it off. There was no actual over ride of the computer same with your car.
If the car computer goes down your car stops functioning. Likely how they saved many crashes. Simply shutting off the ships systems and drift. How they did this with a plane I don't know.
