As some of the posts in the comment section stated they have been using “Fly By Wire” for 40 years now. Aircraft without this feature are primitive by today’s standards. However, trying to recover an aircraft in a spin or stall as it approaches 400 mph is much different than a leisurely drive around the block. The compressive forces on the surface areas are too great to overcome, hence the need for the fly by wire technology.
I’ve had power steering pumps go out on me but I still had control of the car.
I’m not too comfortable with the notion if my drive by wire fails that I have lost control of my car.
