ROBOTS ARE ROBOTIC BUT HUMANS ARE NEITHER HUMANIC NOR ROBOTIC.

Human pilots suck. I was on a flight where the pilot quit his job while we were on the tarmac.

Side: Yes

I imagine that had got to have been frustrating ...

Side: Yes

Yeah, especially because we didn't know the reason for the delay at the time. Apparently he was upset about something that happened that day, so he decided to retire right then. I hope he didn't get his pension.

Side: Yes

Yes. They could come with many back up precautions too just in case something fails. I think it may work out.

Side: Yes

Of course it would be better because human can be tired or ill, so passengers are in danger. But it depends on the quality of robot.

Side: Yes

I thought they already had that, it's called autopilot. Just kidding, but if they get the robots to be able to take off and land, then it will have faster reflexes, and it can have a connection to the air traffic controllers and automatically know where all other planes are and the weather and other hazards.

Yes, robot pilot will be safer than human pilots. I understand both robots and humans can make mistakes. However, if the robots had enough energy/battery, it wouldn't be exhausted. In addition, it couldn't be easily distracted by other factors.

Yes,because it will not be tired,so I think robot pilots will safer than human pilots.

Side: Yes

They can't get sick, their programmed to do their job, no personal issue, and No injuries.

some airplanes and airports are fitted with systems for automated landing/take off in combination with in-flight autopilot they can fly on their own.

Side: Yes

What about if a fighter plain? You would still need people to control the plain from the ground at least.

the robot could go haywire and start attacking its own country so a human pilot is better and a human has reflexes but a robot does not have, so the human pilot is better

Side: No

what?? it can be only in movies or cartoons! Why do you think robots that make cars or phones don't attack us?? Because it's impossible.

I work with robots and machines daily. Yes they would be good pilots, but if anything wen't wrong on the flight (aka sensors, or a mechanical failure) there would be a very small chance of the robot adjusting acordingly to the problem, unlike a human pilot

No one malfunction with the robot and the plane could crash.

Side: No

One malfunction with people and the plane could crash. The best way to determine would be to compare human error to the machine's error.

Side: Yes

It depends on the design and efficiency of these robots, we'd need to have testing done to see if what ever system we have designed results in less accidents than human pilots, calculating how many people crash to how many people don't and how many crashes the robots run into to how many of these robots avoid, and contrasting the percentages. So no they would not necessarily make safer pilots, the better question is, could they?

robot pilots are not safe as human pilots. :)
