EICAS/ECAM -would not even be fitted to an automated aircraft, -at present the quantity of information presented is restricted , because a human has to interpret it and procedures are there because the human misinterprets the information given.
It not so much as an AI system ,as a pure logic system , a bit like a chess computer -think of 1000 engine parameters being used ,could the pilot analyse them and then what could the pilot do ? his actions are limited -automated responses can be much more complex ,engine control functions much more complex, way beyond simply moving the throttle or shutting off fuel -too much for a human to calculate
The tech would move into all the control systems on the aircraft ,each improving massively
The question will become who is dumb enough to rely on a human up front , you cant even tell your altitude ,without the machine telling you it , let alone maintaining it within 10 foot, without instruments or an autopilot .....it will all happen sooner than most think
