There is a story, the veracity of which I really can't be bothered to check, that seems fitting here.
When asked about the state of aircraft technology and where it was headed an industry leader replied that within the next few years he could see a scenario where the flight crew of an aircraft would be just a man and a dog.
The man would be there to feed to dog at regular intervals.
The dog would be there to bite the man if he attempted to touch any of the controls.
