We have been building cars for quite some time now, and yet there are still millions of recalls year after year. The idea that IT can solve physical problems is so pervasive on this site. > autopilot cause fewer crashes than pilots How often do pilots really cause crashes, though? In the sense that it's the pilots fault-more often than not, it isn't. Most crashes are not the result of pilot failure in normal operation-but pilot failure in situations out of their control. It's hard to blame a pilot when an engine cuts out (a mechanical failure). my point is not that automated cars are never going to work. But it's just a utopia on here, about how all of our problems will be solved. Computers can't beat physics.
