Re: Pilotless A/C
Problem with one-pilot vs five or ten thousand multiple-redundant onboard computer thingies is: "who wins the coin toss when flesh and silicon seriously disagree?".
At present, the toss favors the TWO guys/gals with the big watches.
With same rules, but only ONE person (i.e. no redundancy for the various failings to which the flesh is prone), most analyses would favor the (we're assuming they're "well-engineered and thought out", which may be the case 20 years from now) boxes.
