Have pilots be able to seek help and not affect their ability to fly after recovery. Have planes equipped with remote control that can override pilots in extreme situations. Have cameras inside the cockpit and cabin stream live using the LEO, alongside all the data otherwise recorded in black box. The latter is being already discussed anyway.
A lot of recent developments made things possible that were previously outrageous. In-cabin pilots will be reduced to mere backup, and eventually completely replaced by autonomous systems, just like the train engineers do nowadays, with the only pilots left working remotely in command centers ready to take over if needed.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but vast majority of aviation deaths nowadays is caused by human factor, including pilot mistakes.
If we can trust electronic voting or remote surgeries using robots, there’s no reason this couldn’t be a thing. Seems like the predictability of the heavily regulated and standardized aviation makes it a much better candidate for autonomous systems than automotive, and I’d argue that the public has already somewhat OK-ed the latter.
- chimeracoder 3y ago> Have planes equipped with remote control that can override pilots in extreme situations. Given the baseline security of these sorts of systems, this is a disaster waiting to happen.
- bobthepanda 3y agoYeah, we just grounded an entire aircraft fleet for a few years due to systems overriding pilots.
- cromka 3y agoDue to systems not designed properly and with improper regulatory oversight. Also, these systems were overriding these decisions autonomously, not through human intervention. A defeatist take.
- bobthepanda 3y agoMost incidents start with the systems failing and the pilots being the fallback. It’s not clear how, 1. A remote system would not be immune to this, and 2. How a remote system would be good if the systems are failing and probably producing bad readings
- cromka 3y agoWhat security? How do you people imagine this would even be online connected to the Internet?
- wkipling 3y agoAir gapping from the internet is the least of the worries. You haven't solved the problem, and created a handful more.
- cromka 3y agoElaborate, please, otherwise it’s just an opinion. How is not being connected to the Internet source of a handful more security issues, or any other issues.
