Think of it this way: in a glider, most of the stuff that causes
emergencies has been left on the ground.

One could say the same thing of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. :-)

True, but in the case of UAV, the "stuff" which you'd be referring to is
still "in the loop"...it just has less incentive to avoid causing an
emergency.

In either the case of the glider or the UAV, statistically the flight
is more likely to have an emergency, than when the emergency causing
"stuff' is aboard.
