Autonomous aircraft flies 3,100 miles across US, showcasing Joby Aviation's tech beyond air taxis

Joby Aviation's aircraft equipped with its autonomy technology completed a 3,100-mile flight across the US without human pilot control, demonstrating autonomous taxiing, takeoff, navigation, and landing. The flight, remotely supervised but fully autonomous, highlights Joby's ambitions beyond electric air taxis, including applications in medical transport, disaster response, and defense logistics. Joby plans further flights with stops across the country and is expanding its defense sector involvement through acquisitions and contracts. This marks a significant step in proving the versatility and potential of Joby's autonomy technology for commercial and military uses.
