I sure hope there's a future. I don't suspect the traveling public would ever board an unmanned aircraft. We haven't made buses unmanned and they aren't near as dangerous or complex as an airplane, imo. We don't have any unmanned vehicular travel that I'm aware of. Now, I'm not talking about trains/subways, they're attached to the road they travel and don't enjoy the same freedoms. As a 37yr old who intends on a flying career after retirement from the Navy I would just like to say that I feel comfortable enought to go for it. What the he!!, lets do it! Call me crazy. I joined the Navy hoping to one day fly but of course we don't let our enlisted fly. That one day is coming but not as an enlisted member.
