An Airbus can fly itself... and land itself.
That's autopilot.
- alpaca128 7y agoThat's a modern autopilot, but those mechanisms were already called that when they were far less complex than Tesla's today. Although it can be argued that with technological progress the meaning of the word has also shifted over time together with the expectations.
- LandR 7y agoDoesnt landing itself rely on the airport having support for that?
- PedroBatista 7y agoYes, but even “regular” landings performed today are using what the airport provides. If it provides nothing the pilots are able to land it on their own.
