> Could most checklists used by pilots be automated? A machine would be a black box, and there is room for error. A human can use reason and proper judgement to avoid error, although they're not immune from error, but I'd rather a human making decisions when flying. Either that, or use a drone which has a remote operator, so if the drone does crash: there's no human casualty.
