A FedEx Express aircraft recently took flight without a pilot aboard to test the potential of autonomous flight.

The Cessna 208 Caravan (C208) owned by FedEx performed an automated landing on June 30, video by Reliable Robotics, the company performing the test flights, shows. The remotely piloted flight occurred at San Martin Airport in California.

That might take a lot of entry level flying jobs?

I wouldn’t mind setting up a secure home office and remotely land / take off a few machines

I believe those flying jobs will become simply jobs without the "flying" part.
Of course that's just my opinion.
