It starts to sound like the old joke of the modern airliner only having a pilot 
and a dog in the cockpit.  The pilots job is to feed the dog.  The dog is there 
to bite the pilot if he tries to touch the controls.

The stats were interesting.  Pilot error is the leading cause of airliner 
accidents, greater than all other causes combined.

 

However maybe we still want a pilot there.  Sometimes they manage the right 
response when all else fails.
