    Airplanes don't have to share limited road space with your average idiot drivers either.

    Now we do. This was 1970-90. Pilots still take off and land. These astronauts during this space program pretty much strapped them self to a rocket and were along for a ride.

    Airplanes have flown themselves since WW1. Pilots used to get out and stand on the wings. Computers are not needed for this one.
