I think if you told the general public that they could fly from A-B for $29.99 but it is on an un-piloted aircraft, you would have every seat filled. People are cheap by nature.
Haven't they already flown aircraft takeoff to touchdown with no pilot input? I remember seeing an article on this. There was a pilot onboard just in case but he didn't have any input on the flight.
