So is the industry prepared to move the weakest link in the chain from the flight deck to guy who wrote the code?? In reality this really doesn't do anything it would just maybe fix one problem and create a new one that doesn't exist at the moment.
The other issue is that fully automating aircraft doesn't really solve a problem because the accident rate is so low. However if you take a proven system and completely reinvent it you are introducing a very large risk factor which didn't exist.
The SAFEST way to fly is to have a highly advanced, automated aircraft with two pilots up the front.
