Looking for current career pilots to chime in on this subject. Obviously, technology has seen major advancements in automation in the last 10 years. There are driver-less vehicles on our roadways already and there is a push for more. There is a push for commercial trucking to move to driver-less vehicles. Naturally, this technology progression will move into aviation at some point.

What are your opinions on this matter? Are pilots to be pushed out of the cockpits in the next few decades because they will be replaced by pilot-less planes? Will the general public warm up to the idea of pilot-less planes? Does this mean our days as pilots is somewhat limited? When will this happen? 10 years, 15 years, 20 years?

Maybe if not pilot-less planes, perhaps planes that eliminate co-pilots and only have one captain to oversee and manage the technology.

Thanks for your comments.
