Artificial training

Your simple and direct comment motivated me to remember how rich is the "management" of a complex task when the variables are natural. For example, WX issues, varying atmospheric conditions, energy management issues, speed calibration, surface contact management, etc.

This is fascinating in planes, high speed cars, bikes, etc.

When you are dealing with "threats" and "traps" created by designers together the dynamic nature of vehicles you are in a very different challenge. Absolutely "non natural".

The need for the pilots to remember (after training) the logic implemented by non pilot designers simultaneously with natural adverse conditions, creates a formidable challenge.

And the operator of the machine you commented above is clearly a "poor" equipped guy. Very limited. This trend is indeed concerning.

IMHO there is a need for a balance in the automation specially in the interface to allow the supreme commander to exercise his very best expertise when required.

In the limit would be better to eliminate the crew...

Perhaps the crew is being attacked since the advent of Intel 4004 by "non pilot" designers.

The interface specially during anomalies MUST be very natural, intuitive.
