We'll see how successful Airbus's mission to phase out pilots goes over the coming years.
I think it's more likely an attempt at creating a control interface that is primarily fully auto with a human backup, to meet the expected rules that would apply to "sky taxis".
There's simply no way to disrupt the market with current commercial pilot licensing requirements.
This might be like passing your driver's in an automatic and being limited to those types of cars.
