The planes you're referring to are called 'drones'.
They are smallish, radio-controlled planes that can be used to spy or deliver small payloads from a couple kilometers away.

Nope not drones either. And drones can also be in the form of helos, but I know they were in commercial aircrafts. Maybe it was something that has been developed but hasn't yet been put into planes with passengers. When I saw it, it was in a passenger plane though there were no passengers attending the flight. They were just showing it off. I'm learning STYX, come sail away on piano . Don't ask why. I just am.

That technology does not exist to reliably control planes.
Besides, it solves jack shit. Then terrorists can hijack a plane by hacking the security, and blow up the US from the comfort and safety of their homes.

there are many ways to safely control the plane without risking hi-jackers hacking. I don't know how it is done, but I know it does exist and it can safely control the plane for it's application.

No, you don't.
I'm doing some work right now, I don't know why but I am.

Whatever. You're talking about the technology behind standard autopilots, which have been around longer than you've had balls. You still are required by any sane standards of safety to have an actual pilot even with whatever bullshit you're prepared to swear you've heard of wedged into the cockpit. If you don't believe me, ask a pilot.

ask a pilot.I know it is a standard to have a live pilot operating at all times and thats why I say i don't know if it is in use yet, but I did see it. It is not an autopilot feature, though i'm sure it ties into the autopilot system somehow. You people are so violent and quick to put in your 'i'm better' attitude. Maybe you are, but im sure alot of you are just as much idiots in some other peoples minds. I'm not the type to care if i'm being insulted because I know i'm not witty or bitchy, If you care to improve yourselves to look like assholes, go ahead. It won't affect me though. I'll just sit here and lead the awsome life I have. You people can be cranky at times and it's bad for your health. No one in particular.

This explains so much.
