Airbus has an "innovation" (R&D) department and they're looking into more ways to have computers do the routine parts of flight.
Airbus's materials (linked) do mention "self-piloting", but I can't imagine that they are thinking of the scale as BusinessInsider is when they write "self-flying". No one's proposing getting rid of pilots, having a computer fly a plane completely would be insanity.
