@johannab @ai6yr @kajord @Rycaut I just do not understand the need to remove all manual controls. HUGE aircraft, such as the Boeing 777 and the Airbus 340 and many others, are programmed to fly from runway to runway, including takeoff and landing. The hard- and soft-ware must pass extreme testing before being used in live situations. Yet, the cockpit designers didn't remove all the manual controls. They understand that not every flight goes smoothly. While landing these behemoths manually is difficult, the pilot and co-pilot are highly trained to do exactly that.

The hubris of these techbros thinking their "AI", that has repeatedly FAILED simple testing, let alone any rigorous testing, is up to self-driving at all is incredible. And taking away the controls for manual driving is the epitome of stupidity.... and these guys are designing cars?
