Near the end of The Dark Knight Rises, Fox examines the Bat and finds out that an auto-pilot had been installed. This seems to me a bit strange, because we have seen the Bat carrying the bomb far from Gotham. I have seen that there are some questions here about the way Batman managed to escape the explosion, but shouldn't the vehicle have been completely destroyed? From what I understood, the bomb was bigger than an atomic bomb.
How did they manage to retrieve the Bat and analyze its software(this is even more unbelievable)? Have I missed something?
Answer
If I'm remembering right, the techs say that the change was 'checked in'. I took this to mean 'checked into source control'.
That is:
- There are two bats
- They both use the same software, which includes (non-functional) autopiloting.
- Bruce Wayne was planning on using one of them, but needed the autopilot fixed. So he modified the autopilot. Being the nice guy he is (or perhaps just not wanting to lose his work), he checks his changes into source control.
- During a regular maintenance cycle (perhaps when the techs booted up the second machine), the software is pulled and deployed to the other bat.
- The existence of a working autopilot is communicated to Lucius Fox.
