I’d still rather get to fully automated flights, from takeoff to landing - human pilot errors can’t be debugged and fixed. Neither can deliberate acts of human pilot sabotage or suicide missions.

Air France 447 is a case study where the computer failed to account for a frozen sensor and the flight system jockeys forgot basic flight. With MCAS the other variable is that Boeing’s designers omitted a basic safety factor: Redundancy.

I’d much rather have a trained/experienced pilot at the controls with a FO backup.

I am not alone.
