INTRODUCTION
There is currently a considerable drive toward increasing levels of automation across
all complex, s afety-critical industries. In the transportation domain, we see numerous autonomous concepts of operation emerging, such as self-driving cars, autonomous ships, remotely operated drones and underwater vehicles – all concepts where
the role of the operator is shifting from active, hands-on operation toward a more
managerially oriented role focused on administering and supervising a suite of automated systems. In commercial aviation, this has been especially prevalent and has
contributed to an impressive safety trend over the past few decades, but we have
also seen new types of accidents resulting from a breakdown in the collaboration
between the pilots and various automatic control systems. A recent example is the
two Boeing 737 MAX 8 crashes where a newly installed automatic a nti-stall system
