Not worth of being put in news but this is kinda awesome. Not sure why we could need this (The plane could fly itself with no physical help in the future)

 

But for now this would most likely be a pilot replacement while the pilot takes a nap or something (Again, auto pilot already exists. Could be used in an emergency)

 

As for a smooth landing... Well, its a little rough.

Flies better than I do.

Use:

Battlefield 3 pilots. (because lets face it... BF4 is an LOL)

I sure as hell can't fly...

Eh... not entirely...

even if you replaced a pilot with a robot, someone needs to be a fail safe for the robot.

That logic is a bit backwards, what if the pilot has a heart attack and dies?
