From my perspective, airplanes are already very complex and an enormous amount of design, analysis, testing, and quality control checks go into planes before they're certified to safely transport people.
Removing the human pilot adds an order of magnitude of complexity to the system on top of all this. And the more complex a system is, the more things can go wrong.
I work in the aerospace industry and concur.
What did Q say about plane crashes... it will be a lot easier when there isn't a human pilot involved 😕

Understated, this.
