Until "Control-Alt-Delete," or re-booting an Apple product is a forgotten thing, is why you don't need to worry about this: Because computers screw up all the time.
Last weekend: "Hello! Your autopilot has been encrypted! To safely land,
every passenger must pay 300 Bitcoins through the entertainment system. Offer not valid if any person does not participate....use physical encouragement. If below 10,000 ft and the wifi is off, sorry."
Plus: Cat III autoland? The technology for everything except taxiing and parking has been there for years (just not wired for takeoff, but I'd guess it could have been).
Now...if the article said "Robot First Officer in 737 simulator flies hand-flown single-engine approach, raw data, manual gear!!" THEN I'd be worried.
