"(QRS-11 autopilot) Once triggered, no one on board will be able to deactivate the system."


So... since auto landings aren't yet reliable (read always able to walk away from - if they were, then the military would have them in every plane, especially for carrier based aircraft!) the plane is pointing somewhere - not always the final destination, since commercial airliners are 'handed off' from one controller to another at differing heights and headings to stop them all flying into each other! - then suddenly the hostess carrying the tea tray to the pilot stumbles against the cockpit door, and BOING! nobody can control where it is going...

F*CK!

This is somehow desirable, and 'safer'
