Artificial Inteligence will happen. You can deny it as much as you want.
And 50-60 years ago, people thought we'd all be in flying cars by now.

We'll see military UAVs using AI for YEARS before it gets anywhere close to an airplane hauling around passengers. Think about it - even subways & trains (which are far less riskier than airplanes) have an operator. And you think in 2039 airplanes will be flying around without anybody up front?

I understand how the industry can make people pessimistic...but the rumors of aviation's demise have been (and are being) greatly exaggerated...
