Neural-Control Family: What Deep Learning + Control Enables in the Real World

With the unprecedented advances of modern machine learning comes the tantalizing possibility of smart data-driven autonomous systems across a broad range of real-world settings. However, is machine learning (especially deep learning) really ready to be deployed in safety-critical systems? I would love to incorporate deep learning into the design, manufacturing, and operations of our aircraft. But I need some guarantees. Such a concern is definitely not unfounded, because the aerospace industry has spent over 60 years making the airplane safer and safer such that the modern airplane is one of the safest transportation methods.
