Hi Inspector Kluso,

Glad you enjoyed reading the interview.

As regards to whether you all can fly a plane (including Ray), I am afraid not at the moment yet unless trained. Maybe in the future where you only need to know how to press buttons - see below.

I only told the reporter about the possibility of pilotless planes in the future.

With a lot of automation, I told my usual joke to the journalist about the pilot and the dog (Hua Bins remembers this very well) composition in the cockpit of the plane in the future.

Yes, the dog would bark at the pilot when he presses the wrong button on the computer (for take off or landing) and the pilot's last remaining job would be to feed the dog!
