Boeing: From Driverless Cars To Pilotless Airliners


According to Reuters, futurists at the aircraft manufacturing HQ are looking to the future of air transportation. They claim they may soon be putting passenger planes into the sky without human pilots.

With small, controlled drones becoming common in the air, it’s only a matter of time before the drones grow in size until they can carry passengers. So, what could possibly go wrong? Maybe a couple of decades from now, when your flight is preparing to land, the cheerful automatic pilot will inform passengers:

As airlines keep cramming in additional seats to bring in more money, passengers will not only be squeezed in the smaller spaces. Additional dollars from their wallets will be squeezed out.

Ryan Air now limits carry-ons to smaller, soft bags and backpacks that fit under seats. If you plan to fly Ryan Air and other airlines with the same restrictions, always be sure of the latest bag requirements. If you don’t want to pay the ever-growing fees for checking luggage, scan the ads for those you are permitted to carry aboard free.
