Boeing’s autonomous air taxi subsidiary faces a whistleblower lawsuit over rushed software testing

A former software manager at Wisk Aero, Boeing's autonomous air taxi subsidiary, has filed a whistleblower lawsuit alleging she was wrongfully terminated after reporting that company executives pressured engineers to cut FAA-required software testing to meet a 2025 test flight deadline. The case arrives at a sensitive time as Wisk seeks FAA certification for the first fully autonomous passenger aircraft in the US, a process that hinges on regulatory confidence in its software safety standards. Boeing has faced 32 OSHA whistleblower complaints since 2020 and Senate scrutiny over its safety culture. The allegations remain unproven and the case is in early stages.
