God is our co-pilot? Look at our car. Two seats. Where’s he gonna sit? Huh? Where’s he gonna sit?

These are often dual control so the driver can drive from whichever side is closest to the bins

Amazing

Doesn't have a seat or any room for it on the right... I'm assuming it's so he can drive a short way from bin to bin and operate the boom standing on the running board.

There's a whole steering wheel on the right side plus controls angled in that direction, so I'm pretty sure there's a seat on that side too.

"Oh shit, Mav. We got a bogey on our tail."

"I'm gonna hit the brakes, and he's gonna drive right by."

Redundancies save lives.

An inflatable copilot, perhaps Otto Pilot?

u/Nvi4 Aug 26 '21

Ah yes, all those jets with steering wheels.

u/ClappedSwede Aug 26 '21

Most of it is just hydraulics but there's some interesting buttons in there. I wanna know what the joystick does.

In a few years it's all replaced with a touch screen. Probably

I doubt it, physical buttons still have their advantages in such an environment. Much easier to use while multitasking.

For comparison, here are some 3D jet cockpits
