I think we underestimate the nature of our environment because we are used to it.
But aviation operates in an additional dimension with much higher speeds and a crapload more threats.
Wind shear, ice, birds, all manner of complex weather are just a few considerations cars never deal-or at least don’t affect them in any way that matters.
Our environment is a lot more dynamic. No question. Not to mention the much more complex systems of our machines.

I did. We’ll never know. But it is clear that the person who was supposed to be the “safety pilot” was distracted. The point of my post was that even something as “simple” as a self-driving car is a quite some time from being a safe reality. Automated planes have a long long long way to go before the foolhardy can risk their lives to automation and programming.

No telling what it thought she was-but the Lidar should easily have seen her in time to stop.
I’m telling y’all. This technology is crap right now. It’s dangerous and should not be allowed on public roads until it is more mature.
Sad that someone is dead, but this will be stopped. If stupid ass regulators who don’t understand the technology won’t stop it, civil judgements for tens or hundreds of millions damned sure will.
