No, Flash was a resource hog. We told them for years to quit using WaitNextEvent() and update to using the Carbon event handling APIs, but they kept on dragging their feet.
It wouldn't cost much to model this in a simulator, and let a couple dozen pilots try it out. We'd find out pretty quick how easy or hard it really is. It would be an interesting semester project for some students at Embry-Riddle.
So the guy's a pervert: does that mean his code quit working? Is he trying to fuck other contributors? Has he done anything to anyone without their consent?
I've worked with plenty of people in my time who are into things that I don't approve of, from voting for socialists to trying to be Heinlein characters, but if they don't bring it to the office, it's none of my business. That goes double for an open-source project where they're donating their work.
Enough with the goddamned neo-puritans. There's work to be done, for fuck's sake.
When a major vendor fucks up and pisses off their customers, that's a chance for smarter competitors to eat their lunch. There must be at least a dozen companies, from Toyota to Caterpillar, who could step in here and serve this market.
When they stop trying to get people killed by fighting against a simple and cheap preventative measure that can save thousands of people from AIDS, then I might start listening to them when they blather about moral issues.
I remember when it was the Dells and Gateways of the world who were so desperate to scrape any profit out of their razor-thin margins that they'd load their machines up with this shit.
I can picture a business model for parking garages that are only for autonomous vehicles. They can be a lot farther away from a customer's destination than the customer is willing to walk, they can pack the cars in a lot tighter since it won't be necessary to open the doors while they're parked, the decks can be a lot closer together, since they'll only need to clear the height of the cars, etc.

Should we conclude that it won't work just because you're in a snit?

From the comments at your link, I don't see any consensus that the idea doesn't work.

If an autonomous truck doesn't need a driver's seat, windshield, steering wheel, etc, then it can be more efficient.
