The question that remains is how to control them, and what license do you need to ride in one? (I'm saying ride, since it's obviously not a heli, but something highly computer controlled)
But the SLF is not just SLF. They decide on the route, they decide on take off and landing point and so on. So the SLF is not just along for the ride but consciously decides when and where to land and instructs the "aircraft" to do so.
Until a different definition comes along these are not UAVs but manned aircraft with all the necessary licensing that comes with that.
IMHO of course
