    Counterpoint: just look at the Air Canada crash that recently happened where a controller let a fire truck cross in the path of a landing aircraft.

    Planes may have all this technology but that only involves what’s happening in the air, not on the ground.

    Now maybe all ground crew could have vehicles equipped with transponders and tracked as well, but there are also incidents of people randomly ending up on the runways / taxiways, or animals, or non airport vehicles.

      With the amount of AI powered cameras being put up around cities around the world… Yea they could use tech like that to monitor runways too
