Joby Aviation has claimed the “first-ever autonomous flight across the United States,” after it outfitted an aircraft with its autonomous flight system to complete the journey without human input. The trip started from California’s Buchanan Field Airport and finished at Dare County Regional Airport in Outer Banks, NC, totaling 3,199 miles.
An aircraft equipped with Joby Aviation’s autonomy technology flew more than 3,100 miles across the United States without a human pilot taking control at any point, the company said Friday.
