Glad no one was injured or killed. Sounds like the Metroliner pilot did very well.

I really think that we should not have flying cars until we have true autopilot (hands off the wheel, meatbag!). The thought of the "Hey y'all! Lookit this!" knuckleheads that regularly open up, roaring past my house, in three dimensions, is chilling. They are bad enough with just two.

I'll bet that the advent of true driverless tech will also be the advent of illegal aftermarket "mod kits." I can see it now...the "Hold My Beerâ„¢" line of manual override modules...

Reality is that you won't have the type of idiots that roar past your house flying cars/planes or anything of that nature unless it is fully automated because most of them aren't smart enough to pass the tests required to be a pilot.
