Do you believe airplanes will fly themselves in the future?
✅ Yes, I think so.
Because, technology is improving and
automation will be more present inside the cockpits.
I believe that, the cockpit layout will change,
because there will be only 1 pilot onboard.
And all the systems will be enhanced.
In 15 years we will see autonomous aircraft flying everywhere.
______________________________
❌No, I don’t think so.
I think that computers can’t make decisions,
and we’ll need pilots to deal with emergencies and possible problems.
I also believe that passengers will not feel safe flying without a captain in the cockpit.
