Ahh this old chestnut, it's always the same tune with slightly different lyrics, not long ago people decried GPS as going to make a generation of Pilots that don't know how to read Maps, before that I'm sure it was probably the ILS will make a generation of Pilots that don't know how to land, the Jet Engine is far too complex compared to a good old fashioned piston, all these fancy instruments will take away a Pilots ability to feel the aircraft, blah blah blah.
There were "aids" to help a pilot fly the aircraft.

What is happening now is the pilot is becoming a systems manager, completely different.

A couple friend have just returned from NZ. Had an enjoyable ride in their mate's car, a Tesla.
Except on one trip. Up and over Arthurs Pass, no less that three "phantom braking" episodes occurred.
How long before we see a phantom missed approach?
