The software for the Space Shuttles was written in the late 70’s. It was already obsolete by the time they got to the launching pad.

Human input optional.

Eventually all our technology will be essentially autonomous. If we suddenly disappear as a biological species, our autonomous systems and avatars will carry on.

I don’t think touchscreens would work terribly well given the amount of vibration in a launch, let alone wearing gloves. They probably don’t control anything during launch.

Never used an iPhag phone, so I am SOL.

My wife may qualify, she uses one. Think it is a female thing.

MY iPhone can fly as far as I can throw it.

It’s the landing that’s the problem.

Wait until the circuit to those touch-screens fails. With no manual controls it won’t be fun.
