Boeing studies pilotless planes as it ...
Cargo segment will be first to be impacted by AI. I suppose that's why you'll see most of the more "sensational" responses to discussions in forums like these about augmented cockpits from folks in that segment.
Couple three more hull losses will politically accelerate the development, and make the required infrastructure investments that much more economically viable.
The economic and error management advantages aren't mature TODAY for an AI augmented cockpit.
How long do you think that'll be though?
Hint-Why would Boeing who as a public traded company, beholden to shareholders, decide to invest Millions of dollars into this if it had no immediate merit or value? The answer...they wouldn't.
Anyone want to take a bet on when and which segments will address AI augmented cockpits in future CBAs first?
