Boeing's next aircraft pilotless
This should give pause to any new flight students....you may not have a 30 much less, 20 year career.
Boeing’s next airliner may be designed to fly autonomously, Calhoun said, though it may not operate without pilots from the start. He said that Wisk, a California-based company in which Boeing owns a controlling stake that’s developing a four-seat autonomous electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft intended to serve as an air taxi, is one of the company’s key avenues for developing autonomous flight technology.

Replacing the nearly-absolute redundancy brought by a modern autopilot and two competent human pilots will be significantly more difficult than developing self driving cars. Self driving car development/acceptance appears to be progressing slowly.

Qantas flight 32.
Software can never ever cover every mechanical problem.
There will always be mechanical failures.
Pilot pay is a crumb of the cost of a ticket.
The vast majority of people are afraid to fly.
United flight 232.
If we got every single ask in our current table position, I doubt it would raise a ticket price $10.
Alex I’ll take a plane with a pilot for $1000 please.

They'll always be a pilot in the cockpit.
Who else are they going to immediately for Boeing design flaws?
Blaming the pilot is Dodging Corporate Responsibility (and lawsuits) 101.
Always has been, always will be.
