Use of remote pilots in the future?

Is there a move for this? I am not suggesting that passenger plane have
no pilot, but is it not feasible for the co-pilot to be remote?
Until unmanned airplanes can visually "see, avoid" other planes, and evaluate
other obstacles & hazards at least as well as a human pilot, the technology for
everyday civilian use of unmanned aircraft is not yet "here". The proponents
of general aviation UAV's see a simple solution to all this; simply legislate
other general aviation aircraft out of the sky. On the ground, human piloted
aircraft no longer represent a hazard to UAVs..
