Don't worry folks! Computer programming control will work great.

1. What is this about Waymo and sexual assaults?

I cannot imagine that the odds of a woman alone being sexually assaulted is HIGHER in an unmanned vehicle than it would be for a regular, manned vehicle. I mean I'm opposed to self-driving taxis for other reasons, but that is really not one of them. Am I missing some scenario I'd not considered?

Also, technology has advanced quite a bit since 1988, just saying.

The pilots did not understand the flight control laws.

3. Reminds me of a very old joke that went around when cockpit automation was introduced...

This is your pilot speaking.

You are now flying with a wonderful new automated system that will handle the controls and make sure we land safely.

... and land safely.
... and land safely.

4. There we were . . .

In a holding pattern above a very busy Gatwick airport, way back in 1988.

Except the holding pattern was a bit of a square, with some very sharp corners.
Didn't know them big airplanes could bank that much and that sudden!
Automated process, I was told. The computers did that, I was told.
The wings didn't fall off, so there is that.

5. Somebody overdubbed audio from what sounds like an episode of Frontline over an Airbus crash video.

The video shows a crash that was being flown by humans, not a computer.

6. Crash in 1988. A demonstration flight at an air show.

There is some controversary about the fault. Pilot error or the aircrafts computer not allowing the plane to be pulled up by the pilots.
