That part could just as well go another way:
The transportation and large sellers of packages, like Amazon, strongly lobbied the government. Now any victim of a crash with automated planes gets a standard payout from the insurance. A class action lawsuits from family members of the victims was eventually decided in favor of the corporations.
I've read your life is only worth $10k.
I have nothing to back that up, but if anyone finds the source of that quote, I'd be interested.
Yea, no thanks on automation. In the end I'm still dead by another human's mistake. So I'd rather have a pilot on board.
I've seen how bad aircraft automation is already. Much of it shouldn't even be in the air currently. It's already overridden pilot commands łor at least ignored inputs as outside parameters), crashing planes.
