The shift towards unmanned planes is driven mainly by cost efficiency and the need to address pilot shortage issues. Operating unmanned planes can significantly reduce labor costs, and they can also help mitigate the risk of human error, which is a leading cause of aviation accidents.
A case that caught public attention was a Lufthansa jet that flew for 10 minutes without a pilot at the controls due to a cockpit emergency. This incident highlighted the potential of technology to take over control in emergencies and safeguard passengers’ lives.
