Joby Achieves First Fully Autonomous Cross-Country Flight Across the U.S.
TL;DR
Joby Aviation completed what it calls the first fully autonomous cross-country flight in the United States, using a converted Cessna Caravan to fly 3,199 miles from Buchanan Field, California to Dare County Regional Airport in North Carolina without onboard control inputs, while a human monitor aboard and remote supervision from California and South CarolinaOversaw the mission; the trip is to be followed by a westward return with stops, and Joby says autonomy tech could extend beyond city air taxis to freight, emergency response, and defense logistics.
