The end of the world, and the industry as we know it, and our jobs, is not here. Relax.

Drone deliveries are about as realistic as flying cars. Can you imagine non-pilot types being able to fly a car? Especially given how dumb most people have showed themselves to be the last 2+years. Would you like to see the POTUS being able to fly a car (or drone)? Most people can't fly an RC helicopter bought at Target. And we expect drones to be a common thing for package deliveries?!

If it happens, no one posting here will be alive to see it. Domestic single pilot? Possibly. Pilotless? Not a chance.

The PIC of remotely piloted equipment isn't in the aircraft.
S(he) could be in a basement, trailer, building, office, or elsewhere, but his or her presence elsewhere doesn't prevent the pilotless cockpit, regardless of any requirement to sign a logbook.
