Your comment reminds me of the Boeing 737 MAX problems which resulted in them all being grounded worldwide.
- hosteur 3y agoReminded me of this too. But luckily those 737 max8 got a software update (and a new name) and are happily flying again...
- cdelsolar 3y agoI flew in one a few months ago and was really pissed off that I didn’t know about it ahead of time. I thought when they announced the plane we were on that it was a bad joke (flight had already been delayed many hours). Luckily nothing bad happened but I had to quickly google how they resolved the issue.

- seanmcdirmid 3y agoIt got more than that, some more redundant sensors, pilot training specific to the plane, and an option to override the system.
- chipsa 3y agoThey always had the option to over-ride the system: turn off the electric trim, same as for runaway trim (which the failure much resembled).
- avalys 3y agoThat was not a software bug, but a bad design from a dysfunctional organization that had long since stopped valuing sound engineering.
- bombcar 3y agoAnd they even had the warning and procedure for the rare situation if it happened! Onewheel is just going to apparently warn you “this thing may not work. Whoopsie!”
