If we take this electronic gadget stuff to the logical conclusion...we will let the computer fly the glider and the "pilot" will just sit there....



They tell us that "driverless automobiles" are just a few years off.



Driverless cars will save 30,000 lives per year in the USA...accidents will be nearly non existent...they will reduce fuel usage tremendously....they will allow more cars on a highway at a given time, yet reduce traffic jams. You will always be on time, nobody will get any traffic tickets nor will they have to pay any fines.



Computer cars will require nearly zero skill and intelligence to operate!





So if you are looking for safety and efficiency in glider flying...eliminate the weak link...the pilot!
