Airbus would say that, wouldn't they? to paraphrase a famous lady. There efforts to make an idiot-proof airplane has repeatedly been defeated by better idiots. Solution: remove the idiots entirely.
Except... they didn't say that. They talked about how technology might be used to allow things that would be tricky with current systems. No mention of removing even one pilot from the flight deck. No mention that they're going ahead with it regardless of safety or practicality.
