Robotic Nation Evidence

This post points out that robotic pilots will replace humans in the cockpit as quickly as possible because human error is such a big problem (also, human pilots are incredibly expensive and they have a nasty habit of striking).

Human Surgeons will not be far behind the pilots in the unemployment line, because they are making mistakes as fast as they can. Look at this:

Not that leg - rules aim to stop surgery mix-ups

From the article:

Starting July 1, operating rooms are supposed to be a little safer: Surgical teams must take new steps to prevent operating on the wrong body part or wrong patient.

Among the requirements: Much as airline pilots go through a safety checklist before takeoff, surgeons and nurses must take what's being dubbed a "timeout" before cutting. It's to double-check that the right patient is on the table, if he's really to lose a kidney and not a gallbladder - and if so, on which side.

Hospital regulators hope the new rules will finally put an end to growing reports of wrong-site, wrong-procedure and wrong-patient surgeries.

Robotic surgery is accelerating rapidly -- see this post, this post and this post. Because of human error and the cost of human surgeons, there will be a big push to remove humans from the operating room. Patients, insurers and hospital lawyers will all want human surgeons eliminated as fast as humanly possible. What will all these pilots and surgeons do once they are unemployed? Click here.
