> But that's what will inevitably happen at some point, when they get to the point of only rarely making big dangerous mistakes.

So the same as doctors making occasional big dangerous mistakes that cause lives. Seems like it would be a win then as it takes some mental load off of doctors so they can focus on where they should, on the patients and not on note taking.

Will it be? There are already unanswered questions on who's liable if Tesla's FSD runs you into someone.


I would assume you, the person behind the wheel of the car. Much the same the doctor/staff hitting the submit button on the validity of the records statement.


So Boeing should not have any liability for the MCAS crashes, because the pilots were in control?


There's not much that a pilot can do when a plane is not working correctly. They can recognize the issue but they might not be in a position to do anything about it.

If an auto-form filler is not working correctly the doctor can also recognize the issue and also be in a position to do something about it, namely, fix the error before they submit the form.

That is to say that there's a world of a difference between a pilot flying a plane and a doctor filling out a form.
