Maybe but I’ve been hearing that for 25 years and the day automation takes over is still touted as “about 10years away.”
Too many variables for automation to handle at the moment, that’s not to say it will never happen but tasks that require judgement are roles that computers struggle with and humans excell at. It may be easier, and there appears to be more appetite for, automated aircraft but I’m not sure the flying public will ever buy that one.
