The aircraft will carry two pilots, who can intervene when the test does not go as planned.
Apaprently someone still has brains .
This will enable pilots to control several aircraft at the same time'
The dream of every airline CEO,,
.
But as someone correctly said in another thread, the cost of certifying all this will be such that paying 2 guys per aircraft is still far, far cheaper.

But with time ? we could have vending machines replacing Cabin crew, and a ballistic parachute? why not.
