Boeing getting smarter


The ability for the things in our lives to be more automated is nothing new to us. We are used to having smart devices that are able to predict our needs and make our lives easier or safer. This concept is finally making its way to commercial airliners.

It seems as though the concept of a car being able to park itself and alert to a car's presence is making its way to planes as well. Soon they will be able to lay out the path of the runway in a 3D vision model, as well as give flight path projections and other tools that will automate the process and avoid human error. 

I'm sure it won't be too long before the drone concept will be applied to commercial airlines. Though as that technology is not here yet, it is interesting to see how aspects of it are being applied to the technology we have today.
