current system are better then almost all drivers. No need to wait until tomorrow. To my shock, I learned years ago most drivers can't name how many vehicles are around them, or how any vehicles ahead they should be paying attention.
No. Automated system respond to errors so fast, it is done before the brain of the pilot has become aware of the light that just went active.
Automated system recover many, many time more often then humans. you only here about it when an accident has occurred, and a pilot has control. Never about the system that would have flown around a flock of geese. as one example.
" (I blame cellphones mainly) if only you had proof to substantiate that. I would also like proof of how they can time travel through time and cause accident before the existed.
"Actually, I would. If pilot and copilot are incapacitated, what have the passengers got to lose by trying?" Ignoring the effect that that has never happened, and that it is extremely unlikely. The passengers just need to contact ground and get the code to activate the auto systems.
"Lets fix the human.." so, what fix to you propose to create humans that are aware of 360 degrees around a vehicle with great accuracy all that time, and sub millisecond response time? Someting vat grown I assume?
I hate to break it to you, but I know for a fact their are aircraft in the air, right NOW that the pilot will do nothing from the moment the roll out, until they have landed.
" Try talking someone in from the ground" it's trivial: Push this sequence of buttons. After which the craft will go to the proper airport and land itself. Of course you know as well as I do that has never happened, outside of the airport movie's.
"By the way, doing an automatic Cat 3 approach is actually more work than a normal manual approach and requires special training and certification. " WHAT? Automated landing systems are REQUIRED for Cat IIIa, Cat IIIb, and when in operation Cat IIlc landing.
Another person who doesn't understand science, or what scientific consensus means, posts attack on scientific consensus.
Stultus.
"Yes. In different words, there was "scientific consensus" on them." no. " with ideas that once seemed incontrovertibly right " not scientific consensus, they where untested ideas. Don't be changing the meaning to fit you incorrect world view.
And what the post says about Jupiter isn't true at all. A small set of astronomers decide it wasn't worth funding, meanwhile on the west cost they where being built.
" There is a shortage of workers willing to work for low wages." which means they should paid more oh, right. Corporation get to maneuver around the free market when it suits them.
buss that aren't standing room only lose money. But if you cross the price point, no one uses them. Would you pay 15 bucks a trip? Just to sit on a buss that is far worse for the environment then any car sold today? If you are concerned about money and the environment, you should be driving a 3 cylinder car.
I have no idea why you are making this about political ideology. It's really just math. Buss cost more and pollute more. far more, then cars.
Buss are the least environmentally friendly thing you can take. By a long shot. If everyone on a bus instead drove a car that got greater then 19MPG, less gas would be used overall and a hell of a lot less emissions. Buss where designed so the poor people can get to work. That was their purpose. No being environmentally friendly, or quicker, or convenient.
Interesting. My friends in former eastern block countries love american off road vehicles as then seem to be the only ones the last in ares where the roads aren't good.
"So the value of a human life is determined by your attachment the person? OR your enjoyment of the person? That seems like both an arbitrary and egotistical standard." no, it's necessary. Can you image if you cared about some random person across the world to the same degree as you loved one? You would go mad.

So..no change then?
Maybe, maybe not.
Human trafficking makes money. Are you saying no crime organization would look to crack automated vehicles?
How about a parent who list rights to the child?
Really, this is just a larger issue: How will we secure the vehicle from hostile over ride?
A) You don't know what treason is.
B) You need psychiatric help.
Do they? What fundlemental liberty do you have to dictate the policy of a private airport or private airline?
Don't like it? fly you're own plane.
Its about being on public roads, it's societies best interest, not a persons.
So tell me, are children allowed in taxi's? do they hve a way of over riding the taxi driver is he is about to make a mistake?

Good post. Its nice to see some understands the difference.
In fact, it's such a refreshing post on slashdot, I'm just going to stop reading for the rest of the day. Leave on a high note, if you will.
You call those the old days? I remember sharing data, getting work done, no spam and rarely a flame war.

hahahahaha.

H1Bs are impacting the job market, and taking jobs for cheap. why do you think large corporation want them to be easier to get?
Yes I'm an old foggy, But dollar to donuts I an out code you in any technology.
"and that fires alone took down building 5."
no one says that. the building integrity was already compromised.
You do show a lot of ignorance bout fires and metal softening and melting point as well.

FIFY, jackass.
Dr. Fuhrman is a quack. He pushes bad ideas and bad a non evidence based advice.
is books and 'work' have been thoroughly dismantled.
