Worldwide interest in autonomous travel is steadily growing, whether by car or by airplane. However, most people still doubt whether the technologies needed to travel safely from A to B are reliable without any human intervention. Two days ago, Innovation Origins reported on a survey concerning autonomous cars carried out by the ANSYS software company. Half of the international respondents indicated that they are prepared to drive an autonomous car. Today, we look at further results of this survey, this time on autonomous flight.
Autopilot already controls most of the flight. But there are always at least two human pilots in the cockpit who are able to intervene at any moment. Aside from that, the pilot must always make sure that the plane takes off manually. The autopilot only takes over the plane during the flight. The landing procedure is very different. Even though this is normally done manually, the autopilot is also capable of landing safely. It is even considered normal for the autopilot to take over the landing when there’s bad weather and low visibility.
The ANSYS survey involved 22,000 people from the Benelux, China, France, Germany, India, India, Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden, Great Britain and the US. They were all asked about their attitudes and expectations with regard to autonomous driving and flight. The study revealed that concerns about autonomous flight varied considerably. The results of the study were published in the ANSYS Global Autonomous Vehicle Report in October 2019. It also shows in detail the varying opinions between age groups and markets.
