Robotic Air traffic Control

Computer system 'can land aircraft without air traffic controllers'

From the article:

"British Aerospace scientists have developed a revolutionary airborne computer system that they claim can land aircraft safely without human air traffic controllers. It will enable a pilot to determine an aircraft's landing path simply by pressing a button in the cockpit.

The new technology has been developed by BAE Systems, the British defence and aerospace company, and aims to eliminate human error, save on fuel and increase flight safety. If successful, it will also threaten the jobs of 40,000 air traffic controllers worldwide.

As mentioned in Robots in 2015, pilots and air traffic controllers are likely to be some of the first casualties in the robotic revolution.
