737 Max crashes may be relate to MCAS - This system takes the control from the pilot if the nose is angled too high (to prevent a stall). This reminds me of the QRS-11 chip of taking control of an aircraft.
could be by activating the MCAS system to take control from pilot and drop nose of plane. If the pilot continues to try and raise nose of plane without deactivating system it will cause the plane to go into dramatic dive in auto response because it thinks the plane will stall with nose up position.
