Rich,
The achievements of the Boeing team are great, Waldo Carmona (a friend and collegue) is leading the pack in this stuff.
Please recognize that to carry FAR Part 29 passengers on a certified approach to a FLIR designated point is a far piece more rigerous than a (fantastically capable) experimental military demonstrator.
To the point that demos are great, but certs are what counts, Sikorsky made auto approaches in an experimental skycrane using video hooked waypoints in 1972!
