People have been daydreaming about automatic cars since the 1930's,
which is an extremely simple subset of the automatic airplane problem.

Automatic cars don't exist and there is little likelyhood the will
exist anytime in the near future.

You are a comic book reading babbler with no connection to the real
world.

So basically you are saying that the FAA, NASA, EAA, AOPA, and Boeing,

Yes, if the outcome is a PAV as outlined by CAFE. That really isn't what
they are trying for though. Look at the prizes CAFE is giving out. They
are looking for evolutionary changes that can be brought into the
current fleet. Not revolutionary changes.
