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.
any mention of AI/automation triggers people now into thinking it’s evil/wrong. And any rational support of it gets you downvoted.
People just need something to irrationally hate i guess? It’s funny how every lemmy poster things they are so smart but their responses are overwhelmingy knee-jerk and emotional and often totally disproportionate to the context.
