Until someone disrupts air traffic control, I'm afraid that airspace is stuck with the status quo.

- infamouscow 11y agoCare to explain how you go about "disrupting" air-traffic control?
- freehunter 11y agoPeople can easily route air traffic from their smartphones like the air traffic controller game. You have a bunch of people directing traffic in the game, and you find the most commonly agreed upon flight path and use that to direct the pilots! It's like how Duolingo crowd sources language translations. It's so obvious!
- asynchronous13 11y agoThis is both genius and horrifying.
- jdc 11y agoI was being facetious but now that I think about it, it does seem fairly inevitable that one day air-traffic control will be consider to have too low a margin for error to entrust to human operators.
