FAA Releases Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration Roadmap ? News Watch

I've posted this on some regional boards but I'm curious what you more "seasoned" guys think about this unmanmed aircraft stuff. I noticed this article in the latest ALPA fastread. I know they just did a test flight in the UK of an unmanned passanger aircraft that went flawlessly. I know this article isn't necessarily talking about pax aircraft, but do you guys think unmanned pax aircraft are closer than many think? Ive flown with a few guys who have been following this closely and many think we are less than 20 years away from this being a reality for pax flights. People might not go for it now, but in 15 years when most of our cars are driving us, I wonder if the public may feel differently.
