F-16 Autopilot saves unconscious pilot’s life

Aviation Week:

This newly declassified video footage from the head-up-display of a U.S. Air Force Arizona Air National Guard F-16 records the dramatic moment when its unconscious pilot is saved from certain death by the aircraft’s Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto-GCAS).

This is all kinds of terrifying and an amazing example of technology at work.
