It's what I've always said. The technology is there but they need us for that vital thing.
When a plane crashes, it's the pilots' fault but different pilots are on the jet Joe Public is about to get on.
So that's all right then.
When a pilotless airliner goes down, what excuse will they have? The identical ones on the ramp are on version 9.0.2 and the crash one was on 9.0.1? That's a massive lawsuit for allowing people to fly on defective software... If it's 9.0.2. That's the whole fleet grounded.
While they can blame us, we'll all have a job. Simple.
