and if the human pilot needs to do emergency maneuvers that the computer doesn’t agree with?

If the pilot disagrees with the computer, surely the pilot must be wrong, there is no way the engineers made fatal mistakes writing software. Software does not have bugs. Look how safe MCAS was.

  Note that more than a few airbus accidents happened because the pilots didn’t trust the computer. The reports usually end in; ‘if they had switched to automatic…’

    … in normal conditions. In other-than-normal conditions the computer is almost always wrong.

It can't, like its is already the case with the Airbus, where the computer wont allow maneuvers, that would compromise the integrity of the air frame due to excessive G's.

  Only in Normal Law though. These protections are increasingly lost as you move into alternate laws 1 and 2. And no protections whatsoever in direct law. In most emergencies issues pile up so quickly that these modes tend to activate more often than not (and confusion about which mode is active has led to several fatal crashes)

    Mentour pilot on YouTube has these cases and explains them well, including those different law modes.

    You know what? I just had a chat with Spock here on the bridge....He suggests logic may be our best ally in this debate, not the sector of our Starship crew's employment...
