Apparently Airbus is putting serious engineering into this and not just
slapping something together. Why be afraid of any automation?
I'm not afraid of automation. I'm afraid of people who place too much
faith in automation. Sure, humans make mistakes, sometimes
spectacular mistakes. And automated systems make mistakes.
Note that I never ever said automated systems are better or worse than
human systems. I have this futile hope that people will think thru all
the risks and potential problems.
