He did very well except the unnecessary analogy to "modern medicine." I have yet to use a robot in surgery. There are a few commercially available (da vinci system) but it is a really tiny, tiny niche that is not in widespread use at all. It is just a different type of problem. Apples and oranges. Perhaps he should have talked about decision support systems which is a closer analogy...

OTOH, even my little C182 has a full auto that I can enter a flight plan with altitude. Doesn't make the pilot obsolete.
