That's what really amazes me. Especially since AoA vanes are known to be troublesome.[1] In most aircraft they just trigger the stall warning horn and stick shaker; they don't directly affect aircraft control.

I think Airbus will disable the autopilot in case of AoA sensor failure, which is why it has three of them instead of two.
