Wow, really, computer programs don't have bugs? The list of bugs in any human designed program would be a thousand times longer than the list of airplane safety features.

Exactly... those who use iPads and or Apple I-phones receive notices of bug fixes to their products. Same applies to many products that requires the use of computers for operation.

I'll wager we'll be teleporting before we see pilotless aircraft. Brundlefly anyone?

The legal and R&D costs will be insurmountable. I'm the only one in my family in aviation- the rest are in software development and IT. They have a saying "artificial intelligence is just that-artificial." We have very little understanding of how the human brain works so developing a software system that can learn and adapt at the rate the human mind does is very far away.

Until the security question can be answered there should be 2 pilots up front. Germanwings is a great example. Suggesting that single pilot with remote backup automation could override that is absolutely ridiculous. What's to stop the pilot from reaching overhead and pulling both fire handles? Can a remote pilot take over and do a dead stick landing over the alps at the drop of a hat? Can AI? If your engine is on fire and you want to pull a handle do you want that to have to be approved by AI or the remote pilot?

I just don't see it happening. The biggest challege we have is the interface between man and machine. Simplifying that is more likely the future.

"All the time"? I'm sorry you work where you do.

I've covered most of what you bring up already.

Are you betting against Boeing?

No, we are predicting a Nerd/Beancounter fight, and betting on the latter.

I have been thinking that the whole time.
