    Joby completes 3,199-mile autonomous US cross-country flight with remote supervision

    Question

    Joby completes 3,199-mile autonomous US cross-country flight with remote supervision

    Direct answer

    Joby Aviation (JOBY) executed a 3,199-mile autonomous flight across the United States utilizing a converted Cessna Caravan testbed. The flight was conducted entirely without manual pilot inputs onboard, with all flight phases from taxiing and takeoff to mid-air navigation and landing controlled autonomously under remote monitoring. The milestone provides operational validation for Joby's autonomous flight control software architecture, establishing a technical baseline for future commercial autonomous regional air mobility applications.
