The aviation community has developed a lot of interesting insights into human decision making. The concept of "pilot workload" is important. Most accidents happen under high pilot workload. An example of high workload is the takeoff: the pilot must make decisions about thrust, flaps, landing gear, pitch, altitude, and heading all within a brief window. The autopilot helps reduce workload during those brief high-workload moments. It's also critical for reducing decision fatigue on long flights. https://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Portal:OGHFA https://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Portal:OGHFA
