    No co-pilot needed? This was in a simulator.

    Hmm, talk about useless. Probably government funded.

    I think Elmer Sperry invented the first autopilot over 100 years ago. Autoland was developed in the 1940s.

    Yeah, I am failing to see how this is anything really new; it's just a different way of flying on autopilot.
