Driver less cars have been in the works for a while now. You will see them for sale by 2021 for sure.

Possibly may see some in the 2017 model year.

Technology is there for AG applications, the big hurdle is the safety aspect. If there is a malfunction where is your $500,000 tractor going to come to a stop

Scary shhtuff for sure. Apparently, the captain has a way to get in, but this time the copilot kept re-locking the door on the pilot. I think there's now four suspected cases of similar pilot suicides, so I'm thinking they're gonna have to try to come up with some procedure to help prevent a single pilot from intentionally taking down a plane. ...perhaps 3 in the cockpit instead of just 2?

See attached link. This concern is not new and German Wings just did not have the procedure implemented. As long as humans are involved, there will be the potential for all kinds of F-Ups intentional and otherwise (and that includes programming of driver-less vehicles).
