The CEO Boeing needs some mansplaining

Boeing says finalizing software upgrade, revising pilot training for 737 Max

American industry has suffered the calamity before, do it like this:

"Boeing announces a complete review of all software systems involved in flight control.  

Any system that has some autonomous control over flight surfaces shall be in contact with all systems and have the whole parameter space checked before moving control surfaces, autonomously.  All changes in flight surfaces include informative  pilots readings, at all times"

I do not want to condemn the bots, eventually we want to fly these things autonomously.  But distributed bots are about communication, communication and communication. Make the whole picture available to all the bots as soon as possible. There is  one robot, it is the almost correct model of a fairly symmetric world, flight, engine power  and  control surfaces. Add in the location of all other aircraft and any radar objects.  Track that model and share it.
