After a few years of human testing without constant upgrades. Otherwise, no. I’d rather fly with a drunk human at the controls.

Perhaps “crewed” by a talented aviatrix....

I don’t trust driverless vehicles. Passengers bear all of the consequences for stepping into a vehicle they can’t control nor appeal to. If another person is driving, you can at least ask them to be careful, because their own life is at stake, too.

No. I don’t mind having autopilot on, but I want a very seasoned pilot to be there when/if the unexpected happens.
To: BenLurkin
Just think of how many more rows of seats they could jam into a plane if they didn’t have pilots!

Dr. Miles Bennett Dyson certainly thought it was a good idea...

And your life? Zero value.

Then there’s still a chance I can bail or take the wheel! :-D

Don’t give them any ideas.

Maybe Payne Stewart’s plane could have landed itself.
Might not have helped the passengers or crew much, though.

Designed for island hopping over 300 miles over water without a pilot? What could possibly go wrong?

Throw that Z in to the coordinate system makes it a wee bit more dangerous...
