I actually disagree with your point about automating driving being easier than flight . 3 dimensional space means that you have more avenues of escape . Also the airspace system is a lot more strictly controlled than the road system . Automating general aviation is a tough nut to crack but automating the airlines is relatively easy from a technical perspective . They takeoff and land in strictly controlled airspace with ATC monitoring them at all times at flight levels that have very little chance of encountering any foreign objects . We could automate the airlines relatively easily in less than 5 years if we really wanted too if money was no object and the unions didn ' t fight it at all . <| sep |> got movember barzagli and matuidi . Dont know if its worth statwise but i like the cards
