So we don't have computers anticipating the movements of airplanes, and giving warning signals if necessary?
Totally. The instructions were "taxi Bravo hold short of Kilo" and "cross 31L at Kilo"; read back was correct but instead of turning right at Kilo and crossing 31L, the pilot turned left, then right, and crossed 4L at Juliet.
What is lacking (to your point) is the ability to automatically compare ATC’s verbal instruction to the aircraft to its actual position.
Very curious if/when they'll add speach to text/clearance. The syntax is fairly standard, so should be easy to parse, I'm just curious how tolerant folks would be of some % failure.
