Re pilot less planes. Why would airlines buy a aircraft with no pilots required that many people would not want fly. And after spending for infrastructure around them. I doubt would lead to cost savings for punters . Boeing have said it's a big if whether they could build the tech to the level of safety required and haven't committed to actually going further with commercial development.

Futuristic predictions in general range from new jobs for people made jobless to everything being out of work and need for ubi which might happened as more of a reaction years down the track after economy's collapse rather than a prevention measure .

I personally feel pilot jobs would be under threat from other people losing their jobs via tech replacements-loss of income for airlines as no more personal extra income to travel = cutbacks staff layoffs than a pilot less plane
