And I wonder whether anybody bothers to read previous posts before jumping in.

Post 113 covers it at length. That sort of thing is what computers are good at and systems to deal with it are not flying operationally. Essentially almost invisible to the pilots.

I will say it more clearly.
The military is flying autonomous UAVs
The ones that make up that list as far as I can see are not the autonomous ones.
Do you see X-47B on that list?

None of this is relevant because nobody has designed any of them with the kind of safety and redundancy you would put in a passenger UAV.
