Report: Forget self-driving cars; Boeing just tested a self-flying taxi
Boeing completed the first flight test this week of an autonomous passenger air vehicle that resembles both a helicopter and an airplane.
Would you feel safe riding in a self flying aircraft? Me neither.
The test demonstrated the craft's vertical takeoff and landing capability, evaluating the ground-control system as well as its autonomous functions.
Future tests will cover forward flight, in which the craft relies on its wings, as well as the transition to that mode from vertical — or helicopter-style — takeoff.
