We took the pilot out to "prove it's not fake"

Check out our airplane performing the first uncrewed taxi missions in Canada!
Commercial airplanes spend 15% of every "flight" driving on the ground. Auto-taxi is an important capability for an autonomous plane, allowing the aircraft to safely and efficiently move between gates and runways while accounting for wind, ground vehicles, and crews working on the apron.
When done well, taxi enables high throughput traffic flow without compromising safety. In a future with small, self-flying planes serving shorter routes between regional airports, do you think time spent taxi'ing will make up a larger or smaller fraction of each flight?
