This is a pretty damning statement, with respect to the original safety analysis submitted to the FAA:
"The safety analysis... assessed a failure of the system as one level below “catastrophic.” But even that “hazardous” danger level should have precluded activation of the system based on input from a single sensor — and yet that’s how it was designed."
Neither Boeing nor the FAA should have given this a pass.
