20 software executives board an airplane and are told that the flight
that they are about to take is the first-ever to feature pilotless
technology:
It is an uncrewed aircraft. Each one of the CEOs is then told,
privately,
that their company's software is running the aircraft's automatic
pilot
system. Nineteen of the CEOs promptly leave the aircraft, each
offering
a different type of excuse. One CEO alone remains on board the jet,
seeming very calm indeed. Asked why he is so confident in this first
uncrewed flight, he replies: "If it's the same software that runs my
company's IT systems,this plane won't even take off."
