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...
