What HE said.



They are denying liability for the fatal in the US a few years back.



And that will be the deal breaker...just like re-charge times for electric cars. There's a Hyundai just been released here. 450 kilometres on a single charge. They brag about its 3 hour charge time.



We have driveways that are 450km long here. Who's going to stick around waiting for 3 hours when they're half way to Melbourne.

I'm not at all certain as to what is actually driving this concept.



I suspect it's more about government manipulation than practicality.

Seriously, I could not feel comfortable in a self driving car..



I would not get in a plane that didn't have pilots.

Planes of the future will only have a pilot and a dog in the cockpit.



The dog's job is to make sure the pilot doesn't touch any controls.



The pilot's job is to feed the dog.



Modern aircraft are already fully automated. The Airbus A380, the world's largest aircraft, lands itself.

But, what if the system that lands the aircraft fails. You still need pilots to land the plane the old fashioned way.

That's what they are there for essentially.



Except if its a Boeing 737 Max 3. Then there is nothing they can do.
