For some reason, there are a lot of people who don't seem to understand that pilots aren't there to babysit the FMS as it makes its way through the national airspace system. Their whole purpose is to save the ship, their passengers, and themselves, when things go sideways.

Until AI can do that, the "big money" is going to continue developing a capability that essentially already exists.
