Judging by a lot of the discourse immediately following the most recent 737max incident, people were definitely blaming the pilots. Thankfully that's cleared up a bit now.
- notahacker 8y agoI think that's a very relevant analogy. By the standards of the average driver, the 737 Max pilots were extraordinarily well trained and highly skilled, and they had a lot of time to correct the software error relative to most conceivable problems with a semi-autonomous vehicle. But regulators have still (reasonably) decided that their inability to cope with software quirks should be treated as a software problem and not a problem with the pilots' failure to rectify the erratic behaviour.
