I don't mean to step on toes, and I understand autobrakes are a tool to be used and probably nice to have, especially the bigger and heavier the type gets. But I agree with the notion of why go through the trouble of fiddling with selector knobs or buttons when there's two big pedals at your feet you can use? It might not be as accurate as the computers can do it, but I think I managed about 10 years of flying so far without giving the passengers any injuries or bruises from their seatbelts (my type does not have autobrakes).

Taken to extremes, next up we will have accidents because pilots don't know how to brake with care anymore .
