[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 3993314, member: 12508"] Agreed. And if these 2 planes when down because of MCAS (read AI), then AI is dead in the water in terms of commercial aviation, personal and commercial vehicles, and many other applications where lots of people can be killed or injured when autonomous vehicles don't work correctly. All new commercial jets are essentially capable of self takeoff and landing, which isn't commonly known. Yes, the pilots take it off and land it, but they aren't absolutely necessary. In fact, it appears the problems started on both of these flights when the pilots switched over to the autopilot. Self-landing technology has been around since the 80's, and an Airbus A320 prototype famously self-landed into the trees when it was first introduced, promptly exploding, and killing 3 of the people on board. So, you aren't going to see autonomous anything related to anything but the military in the near future IMO. FM is exactly right in that AI has a human source, and is therefore fully capable of catastrophic error. [/QUOTE]
