Commercial airliners have what is called a 'shaker' on the yoke. When the aircraft is nearing a stall the yoke will vibrate/shake warning the pilots of an impending stall. If the pilot's don't take action and the computer deams that a stall is imminent it usually pushes the yoke forward to prevent the stall. It's very hard to stall a commercial airliner these days.
