Most definitely not. I'd love to see a computer program that was written to handle a dual engine failure and then decide to glide the aircraft in a nearby river and still have everyone walk away.

We need to develop AI first before they will start letting aircraft fly themselves and no matter what Popular Science says, AI is not going to occur within our life time and probably next generation's life time.

Right now, as a minimum wage flight instructor living in a dumpy apartment with no prospects of advancement, I wish I would have chosen something else. I love flying - I don't care how it occurs. I really wish I would have gone another route to get a job that pays well enough for me to fly recreationally on the side - maybe even own my own aircraft. I know as a career pilot I will never own my own aircraft - even a 172.
