To be fair it's only a matter of time, most of the flying is currently done by the plane already

That is true, maybe it is why I have not flown in a plain in the last 20 years  :scratch-head:
The tech is marvelous and intriguing, I'm just not ready at this time to put my life in the hands of a airborne computer. I however might be willing to hop in a car that is driven by a computer. ~baby steps~ :D
