Actually, at the rate this autonomous stuff is coming on, his driving time might be limited anyway. I was in a major investors meeting a few weeks ago, literally billions sitting at the table and the consensus was that it is right around the corner.
On that note did you see where Boeing is testing the first components of an autonomous airliner? Call me old fashioned, I'm out on that! A computer may not have made the choices that Sully did!
Since I'm in full luddite mode this evening..... Autonomous! They are joking - right. There is a growing body of evidence that the automation we already have is deskilling the humans that have to catch the aeroplane that's thrown back at them when the automation can't cope with a situation. So if the aeroplane is autonomous who catches it when the automation punches out? Lets not kid ourselves, the objective here is to remove the cost of the pilots. So no pilots = smoking hole - right? Good luck with getting affordable insurance on that!
