This shows the difference in failure management style between Airbus and Boeing. From the article, it seems that Airbus made assumption that the computers will not fail, and if it does fail, it won't be a survivable event. It does deal with sensor errors but no real way of completely ignoring the bad input.
Hopefully Airbus issues an update that allows the computer to fail gracefully. And make it free so there will be high adoption.
