Airbus is on record, calling upon the airlines to "sell" the concept because they are happy that they can build them, ie, they know they can't sell it themselves so they are trying to shift the workload onto the airlines. The technology for driver-less trains has been around for more than three decades yet there are very few of those in service today - passengers still want human beings looking after their interests when travelling.
When we were at Boeing back in 1980 for the Ansett B767s their Engineers said the same, over 30 years ago, that back then they were sure they could build Pilotless Airliners and wanted to, they knew the Public would be wary so their idea was they would probably need to have one, or if necessary two, Crew but they would NOT be Pilots as we know them but Computer People with spare computers if needed.
Can not see it happening, but the idea is not new.
