Airbus to Expand Cockpit Automation

In a previous article, John said:
European jet maker Airbus is taking an unprecedented step to expand
cockpit automation: onboard computers that will automatically maneuver
jetliners to avoid midair collisions, without any pilot input.

Each Airbus will be piloted by a pilot and a dog. The pilot is there to
engage the autopilot at the beginning of the flight, and the dog is there
to bite the pilot if he attempts to disengage it.
