Do you worry about meteor strikes too?
provocative

To worry is satisfying when one feels they can do nothing.

The way forward is to address any enhancement to our life while at the same time keeping in balance with everyday risks.

Sticking to the aviation side of things, we do have some basis for measurements and that doesn't mean counting bodies as an end result. Instead we choose measurement standards typically in the minor consequence range working up to more severe.

Even in the realm of human error in our aviation lives we accept some risk and certainly react to any incidents of more severe nature. We haven't banned the human from the machine, yet, because of a few incidents.

So I am quite willing to let things develop towards measurements of this risk before I support any rulings against its expansion.

And I certainly won't react to a "I told you so" prediction not based on vetted data.
