Electronic interference creates problems for drones that do not affect a human pilot in exactly the same way. A counterpoint is that human judgement can also be misled through false sensor information. Dr. Clarke argues that experienced people can notice suspiciously consistent data that a machine accepts. Other participants emphasise the difficulty of teaching a system when to distrust its inputs while still doing its job. These are qualitative claims about judgement and automation, without a comparative test of every control system.

Drone control links and misleading sensor information
The drone comparison separates disruption of electronic links from misleading the information used by either a computer or a person.
