SO. WILL I BE REPLACED in the cockpit by a black box or some Terminator-style robot? Live under a sky full of aircraft flown by collections of plastic and wire without a human brain standing by in the right seat or on the ground? Spoiler alert: Not now, not ever. Imagine you're a computer programmer who's decided to write a set of rules (a program) for a machine that will drive your car from Austin to College Station on Texas Highway 21. Since you are a top-notch programmer who never makes mistakes, your plan is to ride in the back seat and catch up on your sleep while the computer does the driving. You've outfitted your car with the fastest computer ever made and every possible sensor inside and outside the vehicle. It's a little past midnight now and you're ready to go.
