And what about all the pilots who will be flying in 2030? Where will they go? Plus, the pilots who have just started their job, paying a ton of money for training and working really hard, will then realize it was all for a whole lot of rubbish. So don't let the pilots' hard work go to waste. Let the robots be destroyed, and they can be scrapped or used for a different purpose not relating to planes.
Increased positive factors:
- Reliability
- Less cockpit space
- Redesign of aircraft for more efficiency
- Does not get sick
- Does not have family problems
Goodbye, human pilots...
Many will think then there will no longer be positions for many pilots. Quite the contrary, within 20 years the demand for flights will double, therefore the supply of flights must grow, in more; airlines will have to think of incredible strata to hire more pilots and with better preparation.
I personally would not get on an autonomous flight, that is (with no one in the cabin) knowing that we live in a world where powers constantly seek to harm each other through hackers and all kinds of manipulations. At least I would like to think that the person who pilots the aircraft is also someone who wants to return home and therefore puts everything of himself to save himself in an emergency.
lol
Driving a plane, ship, train, without drivers and operators will let to serious problems and we will suffer a huge loss....
TEACHING WITHOUT TEACHERS ARE SHAMEFULL..
DRIVING WITHOUT DRIVERS IS MEANINGLESS......
Robots are designed by AI companies are good...but when it replaces a valuable job it is often quiet miseryful ....
The one thing i am telling..
COMPARISON BETWEEN HUMANS AND ROBOTS.....HUMAN WILL
WIN.Only one difference
(Humans:can take own decisions. Robots :cannot take own decisions.)
So we should never think to replace train drivers .pilots. ship operators .
This i told is my opinion and research on that job..
Now, with humans as pilots, we get scared. So, how would it be with robots or artificial intelligence that depends on data?
It may have an error that can cause the loss of many lives.
