Thank you! There's not even a hint of single-pilot operations, either. The article is about using technology to allow tasks that are more efficient but trickier to perform. There's no mention of barring a crew from taking over nor is there any suggestion that computer-controlled formation flying will be implemented regardless of any safety issues.

How do we progress if nobody's thoughts go near, or beyond, the bounds of what's currently possible?
