Can't commercial planes pretty much fly themselves already? And I think the biggest reason our cars aren't automated is that the automakers don't want the responsibility. I'd have guessed we're about 0.5 generations away... we've got drones, we've got fighters, and half the cockpit is VR anyways. I can't see why it would be too hard to make fighter drones.
