Thank you for flying Commando Airlines. I'm your captain, Kim Commando speaking.

Wow, how corny is that. Well, from commando.com, this is Commando on demand.

We talk to the industry movers and shakers. We keep you up to date on everything digital.

You can get new episodes every Wednesday and Friday, and our destination by the end of this

episode is increased knowledge of robotic pilots.

Now, can you imagine you hop on board your flight and there's no one in the cockpit, not a person,

no safety net. It's just you, a couple of hundred other people

on board, and an artificial intelligence voice guiding you along from the terminal to the runway,

to the flight and landing. Could this someday be a reality? I mean, has technology really taken us

this far? And how soon could it happen?

What will it be like? Well, we're about one minute away from takeoff, where we'll certainly

have your answers. But in the meantime, I want you to sit back and relax, grab a bag of overly

salted peanuts, and enjoy the show. Oh, and by the way, keep your phone, your computer, your tablet set to be on for the

remainder of this flight because you're about to hear some amazing interviews you're not

going to want to miss.

From a veteran American Airlines pilot and his feelings about artificial intelligence in

the air to a science computing whiz who can give us some amazing insights into the future of flight.

But before we hit the runway, and I promise you, this is the last analogy, I'd like to first thank our partners in this podcast because they help make these podcasts possible.
