Virtual Pilot Lands Qantas Jet

Posted by timothy on from the on-behalf-of-your-entire-ground-crew dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Australian airline Qantas has successfully tested an automated landing where both the pilot and the control tower didn't talk to each other. The plane was being piloted by a "Virtual Pilot" located in the control tower."

    And rightly so- hot & sour soup is awesome. If they screw it up- what else is going to be bad? There is a buffet place by me that puts chicken in their hot & sour soup. It is kind of wierd and I don't think I like it. I'll stick to my tofu and mushrooms please.

    I am now craving some- I wonder if China Chili sells it by the bowl (it is usually just a side with a lunch order)

    Funny, living in China as I do, I have yet to find a single instance of Hot and Sour soup. Or Moo Goo Gai Pan, or General Tso's Chicken, or so much as a single eggroll. You sure you're eating Chinese food? "China Chili"???

    Let me guess, you're an American.
