A simple approach would be to not automate things that don't need automating. I think as developers we get a little too far ahead of ourselves.

The failure on the MAX was related to computers moving controlled surfaces (flaps, rudder, etc.) on the plane automatically based on sensor readings. Questions should be asked about what problem that was solving, and was that a requirement (aka complaint) from pilots? Why was that feature necessary?
