It's being designed for single pilot ops. In some roles - military and SAR - two would be required, but otherwise it is intended to fly with only one - hence the clever avionics to cope when the only pilot can't fly.

It will already be fully autonomous from taxi off to taxi in, but it's a whole other ball game when trying to get certification for it to fly itself without a ground controller.
