True, but we could say the same about airliners in general. Now with complete fly by wire, what happens if that system has a malfunction? No servo tabs left to control, but you can make it pretty darn unlikely, and that's where I see the potential. As we go into the future, these layers will be designed in (like multiple computers/programs) and there will no doubt be some tough issues, but I'm sure they'll be dealt with.
