A method to autonomously taxi an aircraft is disclosed. The method comprises receiving, by a processing means, a route intended for the aircraft 310. Obtaining, by the processing means, a route line based on the route 320. Determining, by the processing means, at least one route feature along the route line 330. Determining, by the processing means, a deviation of a nosewheel of the aircraft from the route line based on a current position of the aircraft provided by the aircraft global navigation satellite system (GNSS) 340. Outputting, by the processing means, an adjustment of an angle of the nosewheel to correct the deviation from the route based on the deviation of the nosewheel 350. Outputting, by the processing means, an adjustment of the speed of the aircraft based on a current position on the route line and a proximity to the at least one determined route feature 360.
