In terms of public paradigm shift I meant 'I Robot' type intelligent cars, busses etc capable of being driven by Siri or Otto whatever, stuff John and Jane Q either currently handle themselves or can see their operator at the controls.
I see that kind of thing happening much in advance of 300 people being remotely flown across the Atlantic (just the thought gives me
)
And ditto on public perception. Like everything else, the loudest squeekers are often the most ignorant and don't represent the majority. Check those same squeekers when turbulence hits - they look to the cockpit door.
Idea: gather all those folks who think pilots do very little and let THEM be the guinea pigs
