Autonomous System Aborts Takeoff of Qatar Airways Airbus A350 Rolling Down Runway at Full Throttle

Via: Daily Mail:
It was meant to celebrate an aircraft model’s first-ever journey from the US, but this Qatar Airways charter flight carrying journalists and staff didn’t go as planned.
Nerve-wracking footage shows the moment the Airbus A350-900 XWB abandoned its takeoff attempt as it sped along a runway at New York’s JFK Airport and came to a screeching halt.
…
Honig told MailOnline Travel that the airline’s chief operating officer assured passengers an ‘indicator’ was responsible for the aborted takeoff.
He said the executive told those on board that the A350’s computer system decided the 11,000ft runway was ‘too short’ and applied the brakes at full force on its own.
