But what is more likely: a human pilot detecting and resolving problems with the computer systems, or the human accidentally crashing the plane?
- rtkwe 11y agoI think a human has a better chance of determining which inputs are false and which are reliable. I'm also not talking about a random person there. A random person off the street would be more likely to crash but that's true even if the plan is doing just fine judging from what I've seen of youtubers in flight sims.
- baddox 11y agoBut aren't there just empirically way more plane crashed caused by pilot error than there are serious computer incidents resolved by pilots?
