The UAV argument is the same one as the military has over and over again. Do they need pilots? Answer is always yes!! A UAV can look at one thing at a time, it does not have peripheral vision, it cannot 'look over its shoulder' and see a car making off outside the camera field of view. A crew makes the aircraft FLEXIBLE. Never ever forget this simple fact.
