Airbus plans to test self-driven airborne taxi by the end of 2017
Airbus is not kidding around about flying cars – the maker of airborne transportation vehicles plans to test out a prototype self-flying small urban transport made for single-passenger travel by the end of this year, according to Airbus CEO Tom Enders (via Reuters). Airbus has been developing its autonomous vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) concept through Project Vahana, an internal project designed to test viability and refine a prototype for urban air transport.

My guess is that self driving cars and self flying aircraft will stand a good chance of being sued out of existence. Tech may be there but testamony by humans outweighs what computers say in court. Just saying
I really hate how self flying planes will take over Pilot jobs. I fear that by the time I will be old enough and with enough experience and hours as a pilot to be ready to apply for an Airline position, the stupid computers will take over it. Very scary and in my opinion, disrespectful.
My father was a pencil pusher die designer for G.M.'s Fisher body for most of his working life. He may have refused the job of a salaried supervisor as he would have left our area for work at plants away. He had to help my mother keep us in line. Me and my sisters and brother. He told of his coworkers came back divorced because of the time away.
He went to the classes on the CADs and drank coffee and read the newspaper during the class. He was wrapping up his work time and ready to retire. He was paid at the rate was 1 of G.M.'s was best and walked the line during the strikes. We ate off the food stamps.

Can self-flying aircraft be far behind? I suspect there's plenty of people who would fly on a crew-less aircraft if they could save a few bucks.
I like all of the airbus planes, so I don't know why they need to make these things. The airbus plane I like the best is any plane in the A320 family.
Who is responsible for Regulating ? Is the air safety at jeopardy ?
