I rolled a '69 Beetle on a gravel road in HS. Perhaps I needed an Android to keep me from driving stupid. I later learned the Beetle likes to swap ends under heavy downhill braking when on loose surfaces.
On a 12hr flight, a pilot might spend 4min flying the plane, the rest of the time it's automation at the helm. 90% of crashes are due to pilot error, with the majority of accidents being avoidable by relying on the autopilot.
