Boeing may be looking to modify the software to allow for readings from both current sensors, but in the event of a sensor problem it still doesn't answer the question of which sensor is at fault? In short, it's a bodge and no matter what they do software wise, the plane will still have a weakness due to only two AOA sensors being fitted.

In the case of an AOA disagree, MCAS would simply not activate. Like you, I couldn't believe it wasn't designed like this to begin with.  :huh:  I agree that three sensors would be ideal, but losing MCAS functionality inflight isn't a threat to the safety of the aircraft and I think it'll go back into service with just the software change.
