I wouldn’t worry too much; they don’t have thumbs, so flying a jet may turn into an unexpected challenge hehehe.

Hmm… do you actually need thumbs to fly a modern commercial jet?

[–] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I would say yes, in order to have a sufficient grip on the stick/yoke

Cookie has a point though… I’m really worried now.

Musk wants to install his neuralink thing in them so they can fly that way. No thumbs needed.
