I wish! The only thing I measure by the yard is my nose hair...

Libtards are amazing. The less people die the more people die.

Auto landing equipment makes a better landing than a human pilot. It can measure and adjust yaw/pitch/roll, rate of decent, and crosswind drift angles every few milliseconds and perform minute corrections at that rate. Human pilots are now around as a safety measure against equipment failure.
Vending machines are not particularly sophisticated when compared to jumbo jets and the like.

Self-driving cars will never happen. Neither did self operated lathes and milling machines.

We cant even automate trains and they ride on rails.

I know the quality of software running these cars. The liability for manufacturers will be astronomical, and the lawsuits will be flying.

AI doesn’t always learn based on the right lessons, either. An AI trained to detect camouflaged tanks in satellite photos from Germany was counting leaves, so was useless in the desert.

Meh. This all reminds me of how we were all supposed to be flying around in Jetson's-like air-autos by now.

We can automate trains. They choose not to automate trains. The railroad union is very strong. There must be a fireman in the locomotive, yet there hasn’t been a firebox to tend since the late 1940s.

More important to me is that I like to drive. I will resist automating the car simply for that reason.
Automating cars is technically feasible, and there are working prototypes that prove the point. Tesla cars can auto-drive. To do it right means that car repair shops will have to employ more sophisticated people. Good luck on that.
