MAX Crashes Strengthen Resolve of Boeing to Automate Flight - WSJ

Executives at Boeing and Airbus have said they are also designing flight-control systems tailored for younger pilots, who generally have less flying time in their logbooks—and a more innate familiarity with technology—than aviators of years past.

“Aviators of years past” is code for pilots who actually know how to fly an airplane.

Studies have shown that undue reliance on automation can degrade manual flying skills, or make pilots less decisive in emergencies.

The 737 version of MCAS proved the point. What we need from automation is the aviation equivalent of driver-assistance technologies.
