Let's just be thankful that we haven't had a major air-based catastrophe due to an outage or hacking!

  Planes with pilots in them are mostly autonomous and can avoid each other as well as the ground. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_proximity_warning_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_proximity_warning_syste... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_Collision_Avoidance_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_Collision_Avoidance_Sy... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9Cberlingen_mid-air_collision#TCAS_and_conflicting_orders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9Cberlingen_mid-air_collis...

      I wouldn't get on a Russia autonomous flight for a million dollars. Between the corruption, hackey engineering, and complete disregard for safety standards, Russian accidents surprise no one. The Tu-154 accident list is long and scary.

    Automated, yes. Autonomous, no. The plane voices an alert, but the pilots still have to react to it.

      I meant autonomous with respect to the ground.
