Automation, per se. On its own. An excellent solution(s). After twenty years, the proofs are easy. It int the problem. Seeing it as a solution is the proper perspective (imho). So why the LOC, the less than intuitive reaction to what have thankfully become rare events?
Dependence, and an as yet unappreciated chasm between the solution, and its application. The box is a better flyer, but the pilot is a better thinker, (read problem solver)
Ahem...."Level off and troubleshoot".
OK, that is called "management" in my country.
What else is missing? Leadership. Leadership cannot be drilled, it is innate, and when there is need for it, and it isn't readily available, people will occasionally die for its want.
