Re: @Pascal Monett - "irrational human fear from loss of control"

Aircraft computer control fear ? Not for 50 years. It has gone too far in fact. The computer is blindly trusted despite it being obvious that the sensors are not reporting correctly. See AirFrance splat in MidAtlantic. Commercial airlines have begun to quietly check their long serving pilots can still actually fly well without computers. As for computer auto-drivers, bring it on. A 7x 9s reliable machine would beat the double 9s or less driver I have to avoid or endure daily. Complete inability to observe 100 meters ahead or anticipate is common. I suspect the main problem is who to sue when things get bent being the elephant in the room.
