More than two dozen U.S. Congress members have asked the FAA to suspend its AI‑supported traffic‑control system in Washington, citing safety concerns and requesting a response by 19 October.
The system, called SMART, draws on over 200 data streams to create visualizations and planning recommendations without intervening in aircraft control, and the FAA has been using it in Washington airspace since September with plans to expand it to other U.S. regions.
