  That's the frontend. It's fed data by the main computer, but if it crashes nothing else is affected.

    If it crashes and Dragon is in manual mode, then what?

      How would I know? However, if you could think of that scenario, you can be 100% sure spacex thought of it over a decade ago and have measures to handle that situation

      How about a response from SpaceX software guy that works on Dragon software, including these displays: > Dragon is a fully autonomous vehicle, so it is capable of completing the trip to and from the ISS without any interaction from the crew. But the displays and button panel do provide the crew with capabilities should they need to take action due an unexpected scenario or emergency. As for the tablets and displays, the tablets themselves act as a sort of backup, and include copies of important data such as procedures. The displays themselves are designed to be fully redundant, so if a single display failed, the other 2 could fully take its place. Even if we were to experience a failure of all 3 displays, the crew has a button panel that can be used to initiate emergency responses, and ground commanding is also possible. > -Jarrett https://old.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/ncj4vz/we_are_the_spacex_software_team_ask_us_anything/gy8wlkv/ https://old.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/ncj4vz/we_are_the_s...

      The manual controls are a separate system and would still work. And you can peer out of the window for navigation, Apollo style.
