Autonomous flight is coming to an airport near you.
thanks for the laugh.
Not anytime even remotely close. Not within this kid's professional lifetime. We are a long way off from even having a fully autonomous car. Maybe 30 years at least. When you see what happens when Boeing can't get a relatively simple system like MCAS right. - you are drawing a very long bow thinking we are nearing a point trusting operation of transport category aircraft
on complete autonomy.
People will always need to ****, so will always need a plumber; always have toothaches, so will always need dentists.
There's a greater chance you'll see automation giving you a filling before you see it being used to fly aircraft without a human ultimately at the helm.
