It sounds like there is little remote control and a lot of AI.
They already have ‘autoland’ on several small business aircraft about the size of the Caravan. If the pilot gets disabled (usually hypoxia from a pressuration failure or a heart attack), the plane will land itself at the nearest airport with an instrument approach.
