Joby technology flies Caravan autonomously across US without safety pilot input

Joby Aviation successfully completed an autonomous flight aboard a Cessna Caravan aircraft across the United States, marking a significant milestone in unmanned aviation. This historic journey occurred without any human pilots onboard for direct control or intervention during the entire operation. The flight took place as part of a test program designed to demonstrate Joby’s advanced autonomous flight capabilities. According to AeroTime, the event followed in the footsteps of pioneering aviators like the Wright brothers, Charles Lindbergh, and Amelia Earhart. This achievement represents a crucial step toward realizing fully autonomous commercial air travel within the U.S.
