I wish it was illegal to have drive by wire in brakes or steering. These are the two most vital systems in a car that I absolutely need to retain control of in order to stay alive.
All software has some bugs, so we need to acknowledge that. Brakes and steering are too vital to let them be controlled by software alone, when we know there are always some bugs in all software.
Aside from the obvious answers (planes are regulated differently from cars, getting a pilot's license requires more training, etc), let me point out that autopilots for planes existed for over a century, but we are only getting some semblance of that in cars now because flying is a much easier control problem to solve.
Unsure why mention autopilot when talking fly-by-wire. Yes it won’t be as redundant as airplane fly-by-wire, but merely by putting miles and manufacturing hundreds of thousands copies one improves quality.
Yeah I mean I'm all for banning people from driving an Airbus on public roads. And Boeings, Bombardiers, Leers, and every other FBW airplane. We should probably extend this to all planes though, just to be safe.
