well a lot of entitled fagotrons think that just because their toy is shiny and new, that it exists in some ungovernable frontier and that has to be specifically addressed because said people are easily butthurt and litigious

hobbesmaster posted:the computer isn't omniscient either, 200ms is still a very short amount of time for the sensors to get an accurate picture of the situation. just like trains and other already autonomous stuff the first reaction should always be to stop I just caught up with this thread. There's a distinction between UAVs (where a human may be controlling the aircraft) and drones (where a computer most definitely is). A few years ago, UAVs passed an important milestone - not only are they now as safe as general aircraft, they're actually safer, even in a warzone. It will still be a while (a decade at least) before planes regularly land and take off autonomously, but large commercial planes can already autoland with zero visibility, and automatic takeoffs are on the horizon. In respects, it's easier to automate a plane than a car as you don't have to worry about construction, or nearly as much about traffic etc.

we're not going to have drone fighter aircraft because the air force needs people to be able to be fighter pilots otherwise nobody would sign up for their branch I assume classified UAVs and drones are both vastly superior to manned aircraft at this point

why arent trains automated? they seem like a prime candidate, considering that no matter what the timetable is no train will occupy the same space

planes can auto land themselves, but if auto land is in use at major airports then their throughput is significantly slower. this is a reason why you get giant delays during poor weather. if you're in vmc you can use all your parallel runways, imc cat 3 conditions and you can only use one at a time

oh and planes can only auto land at airports with cat 3 ils capability, otherwise the pilot is required to be in control at 200 ft. cat 3 ils systems are loving expensive and are installed at major hubs but lower traffic airpots still only have cat 1 or cat 2 ils systems. faa wanted to expand all this but that costs money so congress said to go gently caress themselves
