Absolute bollocks
Is that your considered opinion?

I made a wisecrack years ago about full automation, with a couple of actors up the front . . . and then added, oh, there already is. Don't worry, just based on jealousy.

The reality is, aircraft of the future will set out with a computer driving that knows the details of every tall thing in the world, the weather everywhere, and a full memory, not only of every accident but the post accident analysis. It will be one smart cookie. Two, better make that two smart cookies, plus a spacesaver in a box somewhere.
