Maybe in a few years. These new age commercial jets practically fly themselves and can dp approaches and set glide slopes on their own, but I don't know how well autopilots can actually touch down for the landing at the moment.
They pretty much are already so yeah once the tech is there. I think having remotely controlled commercial planes is more likely to happen first though

Most people would not get on a plane without a pilot onboardQuote from: Tyger on July 26, 2015, 02:53:11 PMThey pretty much are already so yeah once the tech is there.
