Default Caravan is flown without a pilot for 1st time

Flight was made in the local airport area while being monitored by a pilot on the ground. The company intends to further develop this tech to enable single pilot ops with cargo flights and eventually no pilots for cargo.

Fedex owned aircraft. I think I actually flew this one when I flew Fedex Feeders. Fedex is probably finaning the whole thing so that they can dispense with pilots.
