co-piloted
Flew alongside another
Co-piloted means served as co-pilot or shared piloting duties.
The co-pilot is the second pilot in an aircraft, assisting the captain and ready to take control if needed.
By extension, co-piloted applies to any shared navigation or guidance: We co-piloted the road trip, switching drivers every few hours.
The term increasingly appears in tech contexts where AI assists human operators.
