Never flown an Airbus, but it's my undersatnding that Airbus limits flight parameters. An example I have heard (can't verify as I'm not Airbus qualified), is that you cannot roll an Airbus - "logic" or whatever prvents it.
If that's true, then the airplane's computer is really the one with the final authority. Autopilot or not.
Correct me if I'm wrong - but you'll have to stand in line behind my wife.
