Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

If I’m going to die in a plane crash the pilot better be coming with me!

Or you with the pilot when they decide to suicide, which has happened before.

But yeah, I agree that this is very unlikely to happen for regulatory reasons.

This is why you have 2 pilots/crew members in the cockpit at all times. Europe introduced this regulation after the last crash by suicide.

The only Ron White joke I still like is about beating emergency services to the crash site by at least 20 minutes.
