Would you fly in a headless (drone) passenger airliner?

@starsandrobots no, and I think per Calo scholarship people will forgive human flaws a lot longer than robot ones -
@xor what's Calo? -
@starsandrobots just kidding. Prof Ryan Calo, I meant. -
@xor still laughing. Also this looks really cool! Love me any cyberlaw URLs. (Thanks!)

@starsandrobots remote override to force autopilot to follow the pre-programmed flight path is another option, with security concerns. -
@IanConnolly would you board a plane with that feature?

@starsandrobots So now we give control 2 an anon "pilot" somewhere on earth? Are there mult redundancies w/ comm systems? I think I'll pass. -
@conradyoder rather, a plane with 'pilot-optional' controls. Self-flying plane, if you will. -
@starsandrobots We're years away from that. I can't even imagine the code reviews that will be required!

@starsandrobots expect lots of activity and column-inches and wrangling over cockpit culture/practices/failsafes,psych. screenings, etc.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@starsandrobots Nope, I'd rather trust a pilot than software. (Though maybe we need procedures to always have 2 people on the flight deck?) -
@starsandrobots Spoke too soon. It's been an FAA rule since 2002 to have two people on the flight deck at all times: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/27/opinion/reducing-risks-after-the-germanwings-crash.html?_r=0 … -
@starsandrobots I did look in the FARs for the rule ('cuz I'm like that), but I didn't find it easily...

@starsandrobots No. The record of humans deliberately commanding a CFIT is very sparse. I don’t think this will change much WRT manned vs/unThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
