A marketing opportunity
Back in the 70s, when there were several successive commercial-airline crashes, Greyhound (a large long-distance bus company operating in the U.S.) started using the slogan, "Greyhound, in touch with America." Buses sometimes crash, but at least they don't fall from the sky.
The way airlines are compressing seat pitch and charging passengers even for using the overhead baggage compartments, added to the frequency of crazed passengers and safety issues, you have to be pretty desperate to fly commercially these days. I'll keep my shoes on, thanks.
Are the problems with aircraft automation a harbinger of things to come when AI reaches maturity?
