Automated systems promise to change the future of transportation. Yet, Human Factors challenges need to be addressed. Already in 1983, Bainbridge stated “the more advanced a control system is, so the more crucial may be the contribution of the human operator”. This brought her to define what are known as the ironies of automation. In this brief lecture we will see how, still today, automated systems can negatively affect users’ manual, cognitive and attentional skills. Furthermore, by analyzing the information retrieved from the aircraft’s black box, we will discuss how the ironies of automation played a key role in the tragic 2009 crash of the Air France 447.
