No to the first part. At the risk of sounding flippant, this is one of those cases where the aviation industry really does better than you’d think. Humans do make errors, but, for you to apply ML to fix it, you need to make a lot more errors of all possible types to build robust training data. Sure, it may happen one day, but until then we are dependent on pilots and pilot aids. People are just much faster and more capable at coping with novel, or rare situations.
Regarding drones, I suspect that you are at least partly right. There is a lot of interest already in drones as inspection platforms. Perhaps they will go farther as drones get more commercial aviation clearance.
