Garmin Autoland Autonomous Flight Technology Named Award Finalist

Fast Company, a business magazine that focuses on innovation in technology, leadership and design, has recognized Garmin as a finalist for the development of Autoland as part of its 2020 World Changing Ideas Awards. Autoland autonomous flight technology revolutionized the aviation industry when it was announced late last year, as the first system for general aviation aircraft designed to land an aircraft when the pilot cannot. Among some 3,000 entries – the largest number the award program has ever received to date – Garmin Autoland was chosen as a finalist in the Transportation category and selected as an honorable mention in the all-encompassing Best World Changing Idea Award in North America.
