Seems much safer for the pilot, makes the plane smaller, and there's no worries of G's on the pilot.

There will be a massive replacement of pilots by AI and remote control. At the same time, pilots will persist for longer than some of us technologists think, because it will take us a very long time to surpass or even match the flexibility of a human being on the scene.
