it is crazy to me that all of this still relies on humans giving verbal clearance over radio.
Shouldn’t there be a universal standard to communicate clearances to the computer systems of the airplanes and other runway vehicles? And shouldn’t there be a small, well-tested core system that makes sure clearance never conflicts?
How on earth does all this still depend on skilled individuals not making a mistake?
