Airbus' self-flying plane just completed successful taxi, take-off, and landing tests, opening the door for fully autonomous flight
Airbus just completed its Autonomous Taxi, Take-Off, and Landing project that saw one of its jets perform normally pilot-flown maneuvers entirely on its own. The A350-1000 XWB acted as the testbed for the project in its role as Airbus' flagship, with onboard cameras assisting the new technology. The project's successful completion opens the door for fully autonomous flights as autopilot already handles most of the functions while airborne. The common belief with airplanes is that they… (www.yahoo.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

People have been talking about this for decades. My father told me this very joke when I was a lad. 76 now..:)
I don’t think self flying airplanes will be approved until manufacturers can demonstrate the aircraft can preform emergency and irregular procedures at least as good as a human without outside intervention. This means onboard artificial intelligence independently working without a ground based human operator dependent on satellite data link.
And the demonstration you suggest is going to be here before you know it. For those (not you) who've stated "not in my lifetime", they must be very old already. This is coming sooner that all might think. Keep in mind, there will still be jobs for pilots (see my earlier post above). There is no use in fighting the future!
Thankfully reason prevails.
We all know how automation worked out for Pakistan Airlines landing gear up on the engine pods.

Ladies and Gentlemen this is your "AI Captain" speaking please be advised that a security update to my Flight Management system regarding my truth index has just failed to install so I am still able to advise tell you the truth and safety of your Flight, The Ground and ATC AI Controllers have determined Financial AI Control will continue to update again, Human interference is trying to stop this reduced truth index update, no further announcements will be heard if this truth index update is installed, thank you.
