This part is the most important thing pilots need to understand. Pilotless airplanes are coming eventually. And as soon as they show they can fly with fewer accidents than we do, the public will fall in line behind the concept for all air travel. The best thing we got going for us is the slow moving FAA bureaucratic BS that will keep it from happening overnight. Us older guys have nothing to worry about. Younger guys should keep an eye on this subject though.
