Those on the ground will be able to see the races from the perspective of the pilots because of cameras in the cockpits and remote cameras in chase planes.
From the cockpit, you click a remote control and just taxi inside.
The idea is that from remote control, a sort of portable cockpit, an individual manages three inputs of the system pitch, bank, and throttle and read indicators of speed, altitude, and possibly other parameters.
With 47 or 50 buttons, most of them indistinguishable by touch, these remotes are the closest living relatives of a 747 cockpit.

Kitty Higgins, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board, said in a news briefing that investigators had recovered a cockpit voice recorder at the scene of the crash, a remote mountain landing pad in Shasta-Trinity National Forest. Shasta-Trinity National Forest
Among the ideas that are getting close scrutiny are onboard flight-control systems that could be programmed to prevent planes from heading into restricted areas; remote control from the ground that could not be overridden from the cockpit; and a panic button, also impossible to override, that has the plane direct itself to land at the nearest suitable field.
