- The company Reliable Robotics recently made history by using its technology to launch and land a plane while its pilot controlled it from the ground 50 miles away. Scott Budman reports.

The Silicon Valley expression "Move fast and break things" sounds like a perfect fit for commercial aviation.
So...a drone.
Remote controlled planes have been around since the 1940s. Welcome to the Space Age NBC.
if i'm on a plane, I want the pilot to have some skin in the game. ....also, what happens if a solar flare (or some other factor) disables connections? Just seems like this is adding an unnecessary possible point of system failure.
Most commercial planes have fly by wire now, so a solar flare would make the aircraft inoperable. I still think this is a bad idea though.
@@CineZoneYT i think fly by wire systems have been fortified against solar flairs after what happened with qantas flight 72. i could be wrong.
Yeah, no thanks.

This is just a giant RC plane using a head tracking fpv camera. It is cool that they did it on such a large scale, but it is not innovative or ground breaking technology. The RC community has been doing this for a long time.
While they're at it they'll need to design some passengers who are loopy enough to ride in plane without a pilot, they're likely to be kinda scarce.
They say a remote control Cessna recently made history.... we were doing this in the 70's with the QU-22B Bonanza. Smh, California tech people.
Just imagine what will happen after the pilot consumes the magic 🍄🙈👏
GTA Online Baby!
You know God is looking down and just shaking his head in disbelief....
Too bad the funding and technology isn't used to help train pilots and ATC...with experience you feel the plane and in a way it becomes an extension of the pilot. Sad that we are moving in the wrong direction
Well I just saved $100,000 on flight training.
Not all planes are going to be pilotless.
Stop using this tech to justify your regret for not going through flight training
