Data entry REAR-END SNAFU: Weighty ballsup leads to plane take-off flap

The Pendolino trains (Pendolini?) seem to have it. (Sensors attached to the suspension system, I mean.) I have - at least once - been on a train where the driver has refused to continue because one car (out of nine at the time) was overloaded. The train manager informed me that there was no point in him even trying as the software would apply the brakes almost immediately should he attempt to move the train in an 'unsafe' configuration.

My point is that if they can apply it to a nineteenth century form of transport why not the following century too?
