It's called Autopilot™.
- manicdee 10y agoThe autopilot in planes works the same way: pilot is strongly recommended to keep hands on the controls, autopilot will release control if any conditions fall outside the autopilot's functional envelope.
- fucking_tragedy 10y agoPilots are trained professionals in the field where autopilot is relevant, consumers are not.
- manicdee 10y agoand even though they are highly trained they still keep their attention on the plane's operation. And pilots still make mistakes when adjusting to a context where the autopilot has unexpectedly handed control back to the humans.
