I guess we'll casually omit any mentions of 737 rudders. or 757 autopilots that plow into the side of a mountain (although that was major pilot error, perhaps like the Airbus rudder too).

Didn't Airbus fix the early problems with over-riding the autopilot after several accidents, including the infamous one at Le Bourget?

weren't the 737 tails maintenance issues? i seem to remember the one in the ocean off California was one where someone didn't repair a known faulty control screw.

does auto pilot do more than control level flight? is it connected to GPS on the old 757? if not maybe someone needs to look out the windshield. or at least fly above the clouds
