Autonomous & automated flying is coming, sooner or later, for the better or the worse
Never happen, pilot error would just be replaced with errors in software code and architecture design of the black boxes, we've had an A320 that was written off because the black boxes wouldn't allow the crew to flare for the landing, an A330 that did its best to crash the aircraft, and a 777 out of control because the black boxes had a failure that wasn't supposed to be able to occur. Thank God in all cases there were two aviators in row 0 who knew their business.
