Joby successfully finishes its inaugural transcontinental flight across the US without a pilot.

Joby Aviation has successfully completed its first autonomous flight across the U.S. using a modified Cessna Caravan, covering 3,199 miles without any manual input from a safety pilot. The flight, monitored remotely, showcased potential applications for autonomous aircraft in freight, medical transport, and disaster response. Joby's technology has already conducted over 400 flights and aims to revolutionize logistics by integrating autonomous systems with existing aircraft. Following this eastbound journey, the aircraft will head back west, further demonstrating its capabilities across various U.S. locations.
