I can see how there may well be advantages of having a real world, dynamically/real time calculated V1. I can see how it might well be a safety improvement if the emergency you are dealing with an easily defined "binary" go or no go type of failure...(e.g Fire warning, or "engine failure confirmed by at least 2 parameters...")

What I'm struggling with is how is your automated decision making process is going to handle more subtle/less binary events - smoke has been already been mentioned but there's also the likes of an engine failure indicated by only one measured parameter- but there was an associated external noise, a "blocked runway" ( what runway length is HAL going to use for the number crunching?), or the good old abandon because in the opinion of the captain it "was unsafe to fly"..(good luck with coding that one).
