Humans make errors, but does that mean that we shall be replaced by computers and robots?

I think that we at some point will dig our own grave with our love for automation.

60% human errors yes, but in how many cases are there only one cause for an accident? there is a chain of errors that leads to disaster and not only the 2/3 persons sitting up front. One wonder who they are going to blame if they cannot blame the pilots

I will not place my butt on an airliner without a pilot, that is for sure.

I can leave a seat for those who are so eager to sit in a tube controlled entirely by a computers.

It is pretty funny that people think that airliners without a human pilot is no big deal, especially these days when trains and boats still are controlled by people and not computers .
