Can we not have the same software developers as those working on 737 max 8 please.....

Maybe 100 years on people will look back in the history books and read about those people (us) that used to have to manually drive their own vehicles - oh, how they will laugh at us! Poor sods won't realise how much fun it was - especially back in the 70's and 80's..

If some released the car as new technology now can you imagine it?

"We've developed personal transport which can do well over 10p miles in an hour and can travel over roads just inches from another one. It's all controlled by a human who handles all the decisions such as cornering speeds, braking, acceleration etc and has full control over all functions. We've made it so minimal training is needed and once you've passed the basic competence test you can buy and drive any version you want."

It would never get approved.

I've thought the same about if someone proposed the idea for a motorbike .....

Bit like we would look back 100 years and see that people were using horse and buggies with very few able to afford cars. Those poor sods who had to use that form of transport, they no doubt liked it. In 100 years there will no doubt be other ways that people will be having fun which make ours look of little fun at all.
