An airplane has, for the first time, automatically landed itself after an in-flight emergency, according to the system’s manufacturer.
Two people emerged unscathed from the Beechcraft Super King Air 200 after it stopped on the runway at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport near Denver, according to video posted by emergency responders.
The twin-engine turboprop landed under the control of Garmin’s Autoland system, which the company says is now installed on about 1,700 airplanes. “This was the first use of Autoland from start-to-finish in an actual emergency,” Garmin said in a statement.
I liked the movie, but the short stories were better.
I’m especially fond of the one where they developed the robot religion and supplanted the humans that had assembled them because they were more precise/efficient/safe at the task.
I’ve read one of the Asimov collections books, I think it had one of the I robot ones in it. I mostly remember the car retirement one and the one where a man mishears aliens and tells them never to come back and so earth never gets visited again
