> “Auto-GCAS continuously compares a prediction of the aircraft’s trajectory against a terrain profile generated from onboard terrain elevation data. If the predicted trajectory touches the terrain profile, the automatic recovery is executed by the Auto GCAS autopilot. The automatic recovery maneuver consists of an abrupt roll-to-upright and a nominal 5-G pull until terrain clearance is assured.”
I didn't say "it's 100% certain that no matter what, there'll be a crash". Implied is that "100% certain of an impending crash without any extra input".
I would guess there are two possibilities. The system won't override pilot input or the system only kicks in when it's 100% certain that a crash is inevitable.

Sounds like by the time the system kicks in, you probably need it to kick in.

It predicts a trajectory. Either that trajectory looks like it'll hit the ground or not. If it doesn't, then there's no need to intervene.
