This is a recycled old joke about airplane cockpits. I don't know how things go for factories, but in the case of airplanes, it also refers to the effects of regulations that force upon everyone antiquated unsafe technologies (i.e. human pilots) in the name of "safety" and actually as the result of protectionist lobbying.
As the recent crash of GermanWings demonstrated. Perhaps they should start to bring dogs in cockpits.
