A cargo plane flew 50 miles with no pilot onboard using a semi-automated system. An aviation expert says the technology could address the pilot shortage.::The flight system allows a plane to be remote operated by a pilot on the ground, which could streamline pilot airline operations in the future.
I’ve read your life is only worth $10k.
I have nothing to back that up, but if anyone finds the source of that quote, I’d be interested.
Yea, no thanks on automation. In the end I’m still dead by another human’s mistake. So I’d rather have a pilot on board.
I’ve seen how bad aircraft automation is already. Much of it shouldn’t even be in the air currently. It’s already overridden pilot commands łor at least ignored inputs as outside parameters), crashing planes.
