If $10 was all it took to make us pick a different airline, most of them would have gone bust by now. If I'm already paying $1000+ for a ticket, I'm not going to switch to Pilotless Air just to save $10.
But you're right, cargo is likely to be where it happens first. Just like trucks are likely to be where driverless vehicles first appear on the highways, running between truckstops outside cities.
