Personally I can't see myself ever boarding a pilotless aircraft. I want someone up the front who wants to get home as much as I do. Even if they were to perfect the technology, what does the computer do when you're climing out of LaGuardia and lose both your engines at 2700ft. Does it have the decision making ability that will bring you to a safe stop in the Hudson River? Getting aircraft to fly from A to B on a predetermined flight path is all well and good, but what happens when the unexpected happens?
