He briefly mentions the Boeing 737 MAX issue, but he understates the problem. Sure there was a software problem, but the urderlying issue was the whole notion that everything can be "fixed" (worked around) by software. That it's fine to make changes to the plane aerodynamics and compensate with software so that it would seemingly act like the previous model.
