    I'm fairly sure I've travelled in pilotless trains in Frankfurt and the Docklands in London without any issues.... driverless cars though I still have a problem with.
    Everything is self-evident.

      well im almost certain too i travelled to calgary with a pilotless plane...the pilot gary seemed to spend the trip walking up and down the plane telling jokes now and then breaking into song and dance....we passengers were almost certain he was stoned or drunk and when the plane finally hit calgary those of us continuing the journey let out a sigh of relief and some stopped praying cos we discovered we had a new Pilot...Bob.

      during Garys watch the plane bounced up and down.....several of the passengers thro up......and the staff handed out sick bags....the lights were on for almost all the trip and every time the staff attempted to serve drinks or food they had to wheel the cart back in and grab a seat....worst flight of my entire life.....

      so no...i dont think id risk that again haha

        Doubt if this [if ever] will be in our days , but if it dose come to pass , not a bleedin hope of me entertaining it .

        Down the road it may be the norm for a different generation alright .

        Sure ever though we would see the day of a 1 man bus .

          It's the next step up from Autopilot I guess.....as most of the flight is controlled by computer anyway....except for take off...and most landings....but a fair number of landings are done on auto.

          Would I fancy it ?....not now....but maybe later on when it's a (successful) norm.
          We'll sail be the tide....aarghhhh !!

              Would not chance it, computers can go wrong too and if that happens and there is no pilot to over ride it, where are the passengers ,left

                MK that sounds more like a nightmare than a flight. How much weight did you lose during the journey

                          All aircraft have two puters in case one crashes.

                            Too late to use the other as they will both crash at the same time......
