That's pretty cool, but I can see some ways this could go wrong. A hostile nation or well-funded terrorist group (sometimes those are the same thing) could hijack a plane without even being on board.
I hope they work hard to make it secure. It'll be a while before humans are willing to get on board one of these planes.
