I also would have thought simple commands like 'left' 'right' 'up' 'down' 'stop' and 'go' might have a place in this vehicle's vocabulary. But there again, I'm old fashioned. But not too old to realise that these things are going to be with us for evermore. The market has the demand and the electronics world has the where-with-all. So it's only a matter of time before they are all over this earth like a rash.

But it is not unreasonable to have expected EASA to have put some thought into this problem some years ago. But no, they'll make sure manned public transport aircraft are flown by fatigued pilots, that pointless hurdles have to be jumped to get licences, that totally unnecessary restrictions are placed on private pilots but most of all that they have nice fat pensions. Bar Stewards!
