You can piggy back on the civilian infrastructure without ever exposing devices - just require all devices to access anything beyond the local network via a specific router, which pushes all traffic over a VPN, and nothing goes out over the naked internet as its all dropped if its not going over the VPN. Then all you need to ensure are thoroughly audted and hardened are those routers - everything else cant hit the internet.

This is obvious stuff and its demonstrable. Mark Rober did a series of tests on YouTube proving this exact point pitting a Tesla against a Lidar equipped car in various conditions and observing if they would crash into a wall of boxes. The Tesla failed miserably. The Tesla also disengaged autopilot a split second before collision which people speculate is so the company can pretend the driver was in control and caused the crash.
The only reason this debate is even happening is because Tesla likes to cut corners and pretend it is innovation - "oh we don't need radar any more because we have cameras!". It's a convenient excuse other automakers will use too if given a chance. It would require somebody like the EU to mandate autonomous vehicle safety must be by all reasonable means, and all makers expose granular safety data for this BS to be exposed.

Im intimately familiar with range-payload charts.
You have to take my sentence as a whole - I say that its both low density and premium heavy. The low density is because of the range-payload drop off, the premium heavy is because Qantas will make more money with the premium cabin, so thats where the bulk of the weight allowance goes.

The airlines reputation isnt going anywhere, DVT is a known risk on a lot of long haul currently in operation, yet you dont hear anything about airlines getting negative PR about it. This route will be no different. Its a bit longer, but not massively.
Qantas already have it set at around 40% premium seating, with around 140 economy or economy plus seating at 33 inch pitch, and 98 premium seats (first, business and premium economy).
Its a low density, premium heavy cabin precisely because thats what the route demands - they have structured it around what premium seating they can fill, and what economy they might fill. Its no secret that airlines make almost all of their passenger profit from premium seats, and economy is often just about break even, so theres no point in cramming more economy in for this route.
