>digital technology that safely lands the aircraft at the nearest suitable airport in the event that the pilot is incapacitated. How does it know? Also a weird submission to be at the top of HN
> weird submission to be at the top of HN Seems like the usual HN fare. Autonomous control of vehicles is a very common topic here.
Man the headline borderline is incomprehensible. Here's the actual article headline: Piper Announces New M600 SLS. First GA Aircraft to be Standard Equipped with HALO™ Safety System and Autoland Capability I'm assuming GA means generally available?

Not to be a philistine about new technology: but somehow I think this would make people in the air and in the ground less safe. It's probably like having a parachute on the plane: just a great marketing sales point.

There are already plenty of airplanes that have the ability to land themselves under specific conditions. There's no whole-new technology here. Even if it was brand new, I'm not sure how that would be less safe.

Know the nearest airport, or know if the pilot is incapacitated?
1) GPS and 2) it looks like someone in the aircraft has to press a button.
