Even future designs are going to require 2 pilots. I remember seeing this same article (minus the pilot shortage part) like 7 or 10 years ago. This is just a fantasy that the rich elite have, kind of like transhumanism, where they think the brain is a computer and they can live forever by downloading their brain into a computer. Just a rich mans wet dream, they aren't as smart as they think they are or as smart as they tell us they are. Never gonna happen, keep flyin folks!
