Voice Control in Cockpits Poised to Revolutionize Aviation Safety

Voice recognition technologies like Siri and Alexa are advancing quickly and will lead to a future of "voice-first" interaction.

In aviation, voice control can improve safety by allowing pilots to quickly give verbal commands rather than pushing buttons. This could have prevented crashes like the Boeing 737 MAX.

Voice control allows pilots to keep their eyes on the controls and respond faster in emergencies. It also lets the plane communicate issues to pilots proactively.

Military and civilian aviation companies are developing voice assistant technology to reduce pilot workload for basic tasks and improve safety.

Voice-controlled flying faces fewer challenges than autonomous cars and will likely be adopted sooner, greatly improving aviation safety when fully implemented.
