And this has what to do with the fact that ultimately, planes are flying around at a third the speed of sound driven by computer code.

That’s been your expressed issue, right? Prospect of buggy code making it actually more dangerous than human driving it?

And no, they aren’t dodging birds you fool.

But imagine for a tricky landing with lots of variable crosswinds the computer stuttered on its delivery.

Then there is a big thing you could hit: the ground.
