Here's how I see it going, at least initially. A hybrid system that keeps a human on board for flexibility to react to the unexpected and the robot will make sure the human doesn't do any of the typical boneheaded moves that are usually associated with mishaps. This will cut the number of pilot's by half and allow maturation of the technology. We only have to worry if the robot asks the human, "Just what do you think you are doing Dave?"
