An autopilot could disengage (that may count as going into a failure mode and request human intervention).
Very critical software can be programmed with two different methods (different teams, different programming languages, even different hardware) to avoid common failure modes.

Likely what happens in those devices when a critical error occurs is that it keeps running regardless because stopping is worse, it may go into a failure mode, it may try to reset things and recover from the error while trying to keep whatever device it is controlling in a safe state as best as possible, maybe it has to trigger an alarm and request human intervention right now, but it can never stop.
