just film and show a complete flight from an airliner from the cockpit. flights are fully autonomous except take off and landing, which still are computer assisted.

all crashes occur when the pilot overrides the flight system or the runway has no support for computer aided landing (ils).

thats the only reason flying is statistically safer than driving.

Funny: since the 80's they've been able to take off and land too. Which could avoid most of those crashes. But the pilots (and FAA) won't allow it.
