Yup, and that's exactly why. Airbus wants the computers to fly the airplane, I'll show you how that worked out:

In the name of Safety, they have tried to change the Pilot's job from flying the airplane by hand, to loading a computer, and then let the computer fly it, because, computers NEVER make mistakes, right?

Ask that guy operating the Airbus in the video above, he was the lead test pilot on the (then) new Airbus A320 doing a low pass at the Paris Airshow! After the low pass, the pilot was supposed to climb, go around again, and come back to land, but he could NOT override the computer to make the airplane "Go Around".

The airplane said, "Nope, we are going to land now..." I guess it didn't know the runway was BEHIND it!
