The alternative is to have the autopilot crash the airplane.

Yes, I know. I just provided that example as a response to:
Do you interpret airplane safety right? As I understand,
airplanes are safe
exactly because they recover from assert failures and continue
operation.
And Paulo stated it's a bad example. Maybe it is, but I couldn't
find a better one. This accident just sits in my head as the
sequence of events shocked me the most from all accident stories
I heard.
