European jet maker Airbus is taking an unprecedented step to expand
cockpit automation: onboard computers that will automatically maneuver
jetliners to avoid midair collisions, without any pilot input.

Wow! I feel like I'm reading some sort of SciFi horror story where man (and
woman) are replaced by computers and man is doomed to be eradicated.
What next?! Cars that drive themselves? Oh wait! Mercedes has already been
working on that one.
And my company is working to remove all its workforce and what it can't
remove it outsources to India.
