The real danger here is that folks will spend their entire time eyes-in fiddling with the knobs and forget the joy of actually flying.
Depends why you are flying, some fly for joy/fun, that would be most of the glider mob, with GA there's charter, and just getting A to B like a car as well as enthusiasts.
On the technology front in cars and planes we are seeing the automation cause as many accidents as they are meant to stop. Active cruise control is a good example, great for highway cruising, but when you pull out into an exit and forgot its on, especially when its been slowed by preceding traffic it will suddenly let rip and accelerate back to 100kph or whatever as there's no conflict, except the now limited road space. Inevitably the startled driver panics and ends up in a fence or pole.
What are aircraft manufacturers doing? CAPS, airbags in seatbelts, ADSB-In. It’s all happening, just not overly fast.
The aircraft ACAS safety features often are combined with expensive GPS technology and mode S transponders so will be an optional package that could cost as much as a small light aircraft itself. Good luck mandating that to LSA types where the whole idea is affordable flying. I'm all for it, but not for the cost.
