Pace - You just press the "reset" button - and if that fails to produce the desired result, you just press the 'chute button!
Your new fully-electronic, self-drive aircraft, is largely unrepairable anyway, in the case of major failure or serious damage - all components are sealed to prevent the ingress of dust, moisture, chemicals, and other injurious and spurious products - and any major failures in the critical components will merely see your aircraft written off and recycled, and you will acquire a new replacement at modest cost.
Robots will produce all the new aircraft in a totally clinical environment, to precision levels that are impossible with human hands - and the cost of producing this new aircraft, will be on a par with a small family car.
So, the aircraft replacement cost will be quite low, and repairs will be limited to major component exchange. Robots will exchange any major components with speed and precision, when required.
We already have increasing amounts of large mining equipment that are driverless - trains are next - and driverless cars are rapidly being developed, and these will be viable, saleable products.
Not too many years after the advent and uptake of driverless cars, there will be pressure applied to remove all "old technology" cars that need a driver, from the roads - with the argument being used, that roads full of driverless cars are much safer than roads full of mixed vehicles.
There is little reason to believe that piloting and flying will be immune from the push to total automation of all powered products.
