And what about self-driving modern electric aviation? This is where the concept of autonomy meets the skies, bringing together cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), sensors, and advanced avionics systems. Self-driving electric aircraft and eVTOLs are designed to operate without a human pilot, relying on sophisticated algorithms and real-time data to make split-second decisions about navigation, obstacle avoidance, and landing. The idea is not just to improve efficiency but also to reduce human error, which remains a leading cause of accidents in traditional aviation.
