If Boeing can't design and install a cost-effective EICAS, how can anyone seriously believe they can deliver a cost-effective pilotless airliner? This will be orders of magnatitude more difficult, in cost, software, hardware and regulatory approval.

My landscaper rang my doorbell and I answered via my watch. I had a full conversation through a doorbell and a wrist watch while we were 7 time zones away from each other. This was the epiphany moment for me. I don’t know the timeline but it’s coming.

The year is 2018 my door bell is hooked up to my wifi. It also has a camera so I can see my landscaper through a satellite connection to a cellular tower to my cell phone that has a blue tooth connection to my watch. So now while I am out of the country I can carry on a conversation.
It was an analogy my friend. None of those things were predictable in 2003 and yet just 15 short years later they all exist and are widely accepted.
