Software CAN be far more safe then humans for tons of reasons. It's a matter of procedure and testing to ensure it's actually safe. People are going to die, and that sucks. The hope is that we can use software to lower the death rate. In this case: How did they have a system that can override the pilot without A) Clearly identifying why it's overriding the pilot and B) allowing the pilot to quickly disable it if they wish. This could have been different, even ignoring how the MCAS didn't detect the strange readings. * MCAS detects dangerous angles, beeps and has a clear light to alert the pilot to the situation * Pilot understands there is no danger in stalling, disables MCAS * They can now ground the flight or continue to their destination without the plan sending them to the floor. Although based off what I've read about MCAS it only exists to fix a fundamental design flaw with how the 747 is certified, which is obviously an issue on it's own.
