It is a cockpit made and certified for two pilots. I wonder how they want to convince the authorities to give up the safety layer of human redundancy at the controls?
If they want to do it we need a new single pilot cockpit from the grounds up including truly "fail safe" datalinks and remote infrastructure.
One lesson learned from AF447 was that it took the captain too long to regain situational awareness after being called up front from the crew rest.
