Ok. So aircrafts are easier to automate than trains and boats? if that is the case, then there is even more reasons to not take humans out of the flightdeck.
I would say that airliners operate in a way more dynamic environment than trains and boats. If they cannot get things that follows a rail to operate perfectly without a driver, how on earth can they then make aircrafts pilotless?
Are you a pilot? I am just wondering.
I do not belive that computers can cope with that environment without humans yet!
Maybe in a 100 yrs+ but to do that now would be truly foolish.
As some people already has ponted out. How often are situations when pilots have prevented accidents brought up?
