Come on Jack, really? Trucks and buses?
Not quite, more like motor-coach bus and city bus. As for driving off a cliff, that's an over dramatic and disingenuous statement to make as well. A more accurate analogous statement, would be a change in steering control under certain conditions. As long as the change in steering control in mentioned in the manual, then it is fine, as it is up to the human operating the machine to be properly trained on how to use the machine.
As for the manuals, the 737Max manual already had a mention of the MCAS - albeit a brief mention - in the original manual, and Boeing issued an update to all operators on November 6, 2018 to emphasize the procedures provided in the runaway stabilizer non-normal checklist (NNC).
Look for a copy of TBC-19 issued by The Boeing Company on 06-NOV-2018, it very clearly provides information for pilot actions to be taken and under which conditions those actions need to be taken.
