I initially read this as the opposite.

I’ll just stick some turquoise lights on my car
Too late anyways. Bottoms up.

Just write it better.
6/(2(1+2))
Or
(6/2)(1+2)
That’s how it works in the real world when you’re using real numbers to calculate actual things anyways.
What country (mostly referring to the government in power) isn’t the baddies at this point?
It’s not autopilot, it’s adaptive cruise control with lane keep assist. The redundancy isn’t there to ever be a functional fully automated system.

They’re great at this, but the pilot needs to stay within the operating envelope, same as any helicopter.
All rotorcraft are dangerous compared to any fixed wing aircraft. It’s a lot less forgiving on pilots and maintenance crews.
Read all the links, it’s nothing unique to the V-22. All rotorcraft suffer from the same condition.
Pilots just have to be careful while descending with low forward velocity.
It’s because it’s a heavy rotorcraft. Not poor design, just rotorcraft physics. It’s prone to enter a vortex ring state if the descent rate in relation to forward velocity is too high. The same thing can happen with any normal helicopter, but the V-22 has a lot of weight for the disk area of it’s rotors, giving stronger vortices from the rotors.
It’s a pilot training thing, but I think they did put some sort of alert system on it if it’s getting close to the conditions that induce VRS.

Until the cause of this one is determined, the only V-22 crash that wasn’t pilot error was due to a maintenance error where a mechanic wired the controls backwards.
And fewer comments that are clearly a chat bot.
Then why do we still operate the U2? SR-71 was operated all the way until 1999. Hubble was launched in 1990 so the large mirrors for spy telescopes had to have been in use well before that.
