Technology expert Djuro Sen says a big step forward has been made in the aviation industry by company Xwing which fitted out a Cessna Caravan aircraft with autonomous equipment and successfully flew the small plane without a pilot.
Xwing had the Cessna aircraft independently fly itself around San Francisco just weeks after an Airbus completed its autonomous taxi, take-off and landing project. According to Mr Sen, the major problem for the autonomous aviation industry is ensuring the aircraft can communicate effectively with air traffic control. As a means of transporting cargo, the new autonomous technology could be a "really significant move," he said.

Jobs, unemployment 'Australia's number one economic issue': PM | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minister Scott Morrison has today announced the nation’s “number one economic issue” is jobs and unemployment. \n\n“The biggest challenge which is shared by our government is unemployment, it’s jobs, it’s about getting Australians back into jobs, it’s about keeping Australians in jobs,” he said. \n\nMr Morrison revealed the RBA Governor Philip Lowe had addressed national leaders at the state and territory levels and called on them to raise their fiscal investments over the next two years. \n\nMr Lowe urged premiers to roll out programs, “which didn’t lead to permanent increases public spending, to the tune of 2 per cent pf GDP or $40 billion”. \n\nThe Prime Minister said the total of all state and territory measures currently sat around $48 billion, but the RBA Governor indicated an additional $40 billion was needed. \n\n“This needs to be done in a coordinated way, don’t expect states and territories to be making announcements tomorrow morning about when that will be done,” Mr Morrison said. \n\nHe also announced Western Australia had joined the Job Trainer program which meant $1 billion in funding and 300,000 training places in an arrangement between the states, territories and Commonwealth. \n\nImage: Getty \n \n \n\n ScottMorrisonMP The number one issue is gov tyranny ScottMorrisonMP Lol.
