Yet clearly you came to this forum to have a dig at pilots and CC. I suspect you may be an engineer and pilots are usually very wary about offering opinions to engineers.
No matter where you put control of pilotless aircraft it will be vulnerable and airborne control is likely to be more expensive than pilots. It will never happen.
I am glad you find aviation relatively simple, fortunately most aviation professionals don't and work at it to maintain a very high standard of professional competence.
