This brings up an interesting question: If the control was fully automated, the computer entirely in charged, would this have happened?

As shown in the article, when the pitot readings were incorrect and the initial 3 second stall warning was displayed, a veteran pilot would simply have had to let the plane continue on in normal law mode, without any action. But Bonin was too overreliant on the incorrect action from the autopilot (moving to alternate law), which itself was an incorrect result from the incorrect readings of the Pitot tubes.

Pitot tube icing is one of those issues where automation becomes useless entirely.
