I realize that the developers will most likely not be putting them in large passenger planes right away, but even with smaller planes, the potential is there to use them as flying bombs. It is believed by some that the missing malaysian jet was hacked and given a new course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what would happen to car makers of self driving cars that had a malfunction/hacked job. maybe our government could bail them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten about the Toyota incidents, but your articles jogged those brain cells! As myself. I was surprised I couldn't find more of the accelerator problems attributed to the computer, and not the floor mat. When this topic was hot, and I heard people could not stop the car, it made no sense. Till my wife got a newer Toyota and I drove it. I'm used to immediate response to my foot moving up or down on the throttle. Not so Toyota. The accelerator is simply a variable sensor that talks (input) to the computer, and the computer receives this input change and adjusts the mixture and increases the fuel (output) thus increasing velocity. It hesitates, while (thinking) about what it should do till the output actually moves the throttle, and the car goes faster. In other words, there is another brain(computer) between your foot and the actual throttle, and according to the reports, this other "brain" doesn't always do as instructed. I'm too old, and I want instant response, to feel the engine response in sink with "MY" thoughts. Not as interpreted, and hesitate, by another decision maker. Which, as reported, doesn't always obey it's instructions. Just like another box of code (PC) that seems to always have a mind of it's own. Progress..............

That was a semi automated system I suppose. But to fly without a pilot to hand out those little plastic wings to kids at the end of a flight? Aw, wouldn't be the same. I'm guessing that people will not fly on a commercial airplane that does not have capability to be operated manually if automated systems fail.
