Surely we should have AI pilots by now.
It would make all flights much faster...
spoiler
... because the plane would crash well before reaching the destination.Can't wait for some tech bro to create self-flying planes that are actually just a terrible version of the current autopilot that claims autonomy but crashes half the planes.
Then they will blame air traffic controllers for the crashes for not adapting to the self flying planes or some other bullshit.
I'd be impressed if they created anything close to flying. My money is on them making "ground planes" and it's just a shittier train for the millionth time
Reminds me of that hyperloop dogshit...
But who will reinflate Otto if we get rid of the crew?
Actually automated starts, landing and flight are all pretty old tech. The reason planes are still piloted/supervised by humans is the same reason why the "autonomous taxis" are still remotely supervised and controlled by humans – there will be a situation the autopilot cannot handle.
Yeah, that's another layer of the joke: tech bros trying to shove AI were there is already a working solution in place which is more reliable.
