This was the answer I think I gave last time:

In the aerospace industry 95% of all incidents are due to human error. Logically removing the human out of the equation would result in a significant decrease in incidents. HOWEVER, if I asked you to get on a plane which didn't have a pilot would you get on board?
This has been talked about too.
They have been working on pilotless commercial airlines for many years.

We might be just decades away from flying in pilotless planes - Business Insider

The only problem they are having is fear of death.
This might make sense for cargo jets like Purolator and Fed-Ex.
