Let's just be thankful that we haven't had a major air-based catastrophe due to an outage or hacking!




I wouldn't get on a Russia autonomous flight for a million dollars. Between the corruption, hackey engineering, and complete disregard for safety standards, Russian accidents surprise no one. The Tu-154 accident list is long and scary. Hell, look at all the fires that broke out.

Automated, yes. Autonomous, no. The plane voices an alert, but the pilots still have to react to it.


I meant autonomous with respect to the ground.
