Would that be the same Airbus that can't fly through an area of GPS jamming without getting it's brains scrambled and needing a ground reset of the MMR's
And of course who would ever trust Boeing with a task like building a pilotless aeroplane.........
Nope, it will be several generations before we see pilotless planes in commercial use.

From your trusted friends at boeing : https://www.boeing.com/commercial/ae...icle_03_2.html
"In the early days of flight, approximately 80 percent of accidents were caused by the machine and 20 percent were caused by human error. Today that statistic has reversed. Approximately 80 percent of airplane accidents are due to human error (pilots, air traffic controllers, mechanics, etc.) and 20 percent are due to machine (equipment) failures"

It'l certainly will not stop, ever, until there is no way to save your life . . . and in that effort it will be examplary, unrelenting and far more capable than a human . . . things move on . . .

I also suspect that the computer will be programmed to minimise the cost of the crash to the tab picker-upper. Whether that works to the benefit of the SLF is another question.
