If I were a UPS or FedEx pilot, this would worry me. How much do you think
the freight companies could save by replacing human pilots with machines?


Their salaries are not that high as it is.

How much higher do you think the insurance premium will be for a
pilotless flight? Will the UAV be programmed to avoid populated areas
in the event of a forced landing?
