First, let’s not get confused about the real reception of the technology. Negative feelings are generally a much better motivator to comment than agreement.
I’m no great writer so I’m going with bullet points.
- Cirrus is a Chinese company.
- We are all pretty sure, even if we haven’t thought of it, that the data will never be used to inform everyone that we are good pilots.
- Generally, these efforts are predesigned to benefit the manufacturers. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t offer benefits for the end user.
- Even benevolent data fanatics often gather misleading data or interpret incorrectly. For instance, healthcare ratings are often good at accidentally identifying those that seek out or specialize in the toughest cases and labeling them as incompetent.
- Someone with an agenda can use data unfairly or incompetently.
- Juries and voters don’t understand the data.
- Where’s my copy of ALL the data.
- Red light cameras were thought to add safety, but the systems were manipulated to increase revenues and thus caused accidents while randomly taxing people for non infractions and harmless missteps.
Enough I suppose.
