It'l certainly will not stop, ever, until there is no way to save your life . . . and in that effort it will be examplary, unrelenting and far more capable than a human . . . things move on . . .

From your trusted friends at boeing : https://www.boeing.com/commercial/ae...icle_03_2.html

"In the early days of flight, approximately 80 percent of accidents were caused by the machine and 20 percent were caused by human error. Today that statistic has reversed. Approximately 80 percent of airplane accidents are due to human error (pilots, air traffic controllers, mechanics, etc.) and 20 percent are due to machine (equipment) failures"
