It's not the first time we are encountering this issue. We've seen it in other autonomous systems. Trains are an older one, cars are a newer one.
As you move out of the lower levels, the operator has a tendency to assume the system is increasingly more capable than it is. In trains, its so bad that they generate fake signals that the operator needs to respond to within a timeframe. I'd love to see this with implementations of other critical autonomous systems like this. Occasionally inject known errors into the system and expect the operator to catch them. If they don't, well... If it was a train driver I think we would fire them. If its an intelligence operative ordering a strike? :shrugs wearliy:
- pocksuppet 14d agonote the airline industry has moved past firing pilots who make mistakes, since that turned out to be a recipe for more plane crashes, not less. Instead, they find out why the mistake happened, and fix it. In some cases, this involves firing the pilot. They do not do that by default.
