Ubuchwepheshe "bokundiza ngokuzenzakalelayo" sebukhona kakade, futhi okuwukuphela kwezithiyo zokuthi inqubekelaphambili ngabalawuli - kanye "nomphakathi ojikelezayo," ngokuqondakalayo oxwaya izindiza ezingenamshayeli, kusho umkhiqizi wezindiza waseYurophu i-Airbus.
Selokhu izindiza ezimbili ze-Boeing 737 MAX 8 zehla phakathi nezinyanga eziyisithupha zodwa ngenxa yenkinga yesistimu yokulawula indiza yekhompiyutha, kwashona wonke umuntu owayegibele, abagibeli bezindiza babe nesizathu esihle sokungabaza ukubeka izimpilo zabo ezandleni zamakhompyutha. . Izindaba zokuthi i-Boeing ibizazi izinkinga ngohlelo lwayo lwe-MCAS futhi yapakisha isoftware “yokulungisa” njengesengezo ukuze ikhiphe imali ethe xaxa kumakhasimende ayo zengeza ekungayethembini kwamapheshana enkampani. Kodwa kuthiwani nge-Airbus, imbangi yayo enkulu?
Umdayisi omkhulu we-Airbus uChristian Scherer uvumile engxoxweni nabakwa-AP ukuthi ukwesabeka kwe-Boeing "kugcizelele futhi kwagcizelela isidingo sokuphepha okuphelele, okungaguquki kulo mkhakha," kodwa uthi isu lokuthengisa lenkampani yakhe alikashintshi. I-Airbus igxile ekuqinisekiseni abalawuli nabagibeli ukuthi bamukele izindiza ezingenamshayeli inkampani engakwazi ukuzakha kakade. "Ngokwezobuchwepheshe, asiboni isithiyo," esho - kuyindaba nje "yombono emphakathini ohambayo" kanye nokuthola imvume yabalawuli.
Umshayeli wokugcina osinde ekundizeni i-Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX eyashona ngo-Okthoba ukwazile ukweqa mathupha isistimu yokulawula indiza eyayinephutha ngenkathi ibeka ikhala lendiza phansi. Kodwa kuthiwani uma bekungekho umshayeli wendiza? Nakuba i-Airbus ibona ukusebenza komshayeli oyedwa njengesinyathelo esimaphakathi, umgomo wayo wokugcina uwukukhipha abantu ngokuphelele esilinganisweni - okusho ukuthi abagibeli abanakukhetha ngaphandle kokwethemba ikhompuyutha.
Abakhiqizi bezindiza - nezinkampani zezindiza - njengezindiza ezingenamshayeli ngesizathu esifanayo neso i-Boeing ethande ukupakisha izindlela zokuphepha ebezingasindisa izimpilo zabagibeli njengezengezo - bazokonga imali eningi. Ucwaningo olwenziwa yibhange laseSwitzerland i-UBS luthole ukuthi ukususa umshayeli ku-equation kungonga izindiza ezingaphezu kwezigidigidi ezingama-30 ngonyaka ngokulungisa izindlela zendiza futhi kuqedwe isidingo sokuqeqesha nokukhokhela abashayeli bezindiza - ukonga obekuzodluliselwa kubagibeli.
Kodwa uhhafu wabaphenduli kunhlolovo ka-2017 eyenziwe yi-UBS ngeke indize ngendiza engashayeli, noma ithikithi belishibhile - futhi lokhu bekungaphambi kokuthi ukuphahlazeka kwe-Boeing kucekele phansi ukholo lwethu kumakhompyutha angaphakathi. Amaphesenti angu-17 kuphela abaphendulile kwinhlolovo athe azohamba ngendiza kungekho qembu labantu, nakuba abantu abasha kungenzeka bavuleleke kulo mbono.
Ama-cockpits abashayeli ababili bekuyinsakavukela yezentengiselwano amashumi eminyaka, futhi izindiza eziningi zenze ukusethwa kwaba yisibopho ngemuva kwengozi yango-2015 lapho umshayeli we-Germanwings endizela khona i-Airbus A320 entabeni. Imboni kubikwa ukuthi ibhekene nokushoda kwabashayeli bezindiza abaqeqeshiwe, nokho - i-Boeing ngo-2017 ilinganisela ukuthi kuzodingeka abashayeli bezindiza abangu-637,000 eminyakeni engu-20 ezayo, kanti abangu-200,000 kuphela asebeqeqeshiwe kusukela ekuqaleni kwenkathi yendiza.
Okuningi kokundiza endizeni yesimanje yezentengiselwano kakade kwenziwa izinhlelo zamakhompiyutha nezindlela ezihlukahlukene zokuzihambela. Kodwa ukususa “iphutha lomuntu” ku-equation kuphoqa abagibeli ukuthi babeke ithemba elikhulu kumasistimu angathembekile kakhulu. I-US Government Accountability Office yaxwayisa ngo-2015 ukuthi izindiza zesimanje zezentengiselwano zingadunwa ngumuntu ophansi, futhi i-FBI yavuma kamuva ngalowo nyaka ukuthi kwakungenzeka ukubamba ukulawula kwendiza ngokugebenga uhlelo lwayo lokuzijabulisa endizeni. Ekugcineni, kungase kwehle ngokuthi ubani abagibeli abathembela kancane - amakhompyutha, noma abantu abawakhayo.
