The discussion is not about their usability but rather whether they can completely replace human pilots. I just think it's a pretty risky proposition to rely on unmanned aircraft completely.
I agree. But I don't think there's anybody out there that thinks unmanned aircraft will COMPLETELY take the place of human pilots. At least for a long time. 2050 at the earliest, IMO.
