Yeah, right. When the computer can't figure out what to do, the autopilot shuts off, and leaves the humans to figure it out. When they crash the plane because they can't figure out what to do, either, it's listed as 'human error'.
Which it is, in a way, but it only mattered because the computer was unable to fly the plane. Without the pilots, the situation could only be worse.
