Unmanned Airliners

Hopefully fully automated airliners will only come about when the 'Software Crew' can guarantee us a safe arrival in the Hudson when required!

I doubt it though. Currently aircraft are becoming more and more autonomous and Crews less and less 'hands on'. The question is, will this process stop before full automation is reached?
