So guys, here I am posting my first idea for the blog.
Most of the aircraft crashes in the history have been noted to have taken place during taking offs or landings. To this time, landing and taking off an aircraft involves many manual actions and maybe very less automation. Now, my point is that when machines do things better and with more accuracy than humans, why not let then take off and land planes. A digital map of every runway in the world can be published and fed to the aircraft. And, it is not difficult given the fact that Google Map has listed almost all the roads of the world. We all know there are less runways than roads. With this digital map of the runway, surrounding structures and land topography, the aircraft can calculate every details of its take off or landing like the plane positioning, speed and pathway to follow.
One question may arise that the pilots have to take care of wind speed, aircraft speed and weather conditions. But cannot machines take care of them too? I think an automated aircraft will adjust itself in a better way than a pilot controlled plane during the times of turbulence while landing. And, again humans can always override the plane's decision if they think the machine is not doing what it is supposed to do because of technical glitches or other reasons.
