Eliminating the pilot lets it carry another passenger instead of the pilot. They still have to pay the people at the base station to monitor and potentially take over the flight, which means they probably have to be pilots, unless they've really automated the whole thing to the point where there is no manual control, just up/down, start/stop, follow route buttons. That may be the case since I can't see a pilot manually controlling 13 motors to maintain balance and guide the aircraft. Not sure you need a pilot if there is a "land in any open space" button/remote control.
