  It's a software system overriding pilot input on Boeing 737 MAX airplanes, designed to make up for cost reductions in adequate hardware design. Pilots were deliberately not well-informed and the system caused two crashes. It was brought up elsewhere in the discussion. In general cars are headed into an aviation-like situation with automation, so case comparisons are becoming more frequent. It's very apples to oranges here, but loosely relevant wrt/ information/documentation and in the cameras-vs-LIDAR/sensor fusion debate.
