Airbus writes:
"Airbus’ mission is not to move ahead with autonomy as a target in itself, but instead to explore autonomous technologies alongside other innovations in areas such as materials, electrification and connectivity. By doing so, Airbus is able to analyse the potential of these technologies in addressing the key industrial challenges of tomorrow, including improving air traffic management, addressing pilot shortages and enhancing future operations. At the same time Airbus is leveraging these opportunities to further improve aircraft safety while ensuring today’s unprecedented levels are maintained. "
AI or Artificial Intelligence is the popular expression used for what those of who work with it are calling machine learning. It is not very intelligent. And we still don't have anything resembling artificial awareness.
Nice video. I'd like to see it perform on a really bad day with cross winds and precipitation followed by engine failure after take off or failed sensors etc.
