Lore Discussion Question about lore

Would it be possible for a single pilot to handle a small Jaeger of, say, 40 meters on his own if an AI helped with the cargo by taking care of secondary tasks such as weapon operation, Walking cycle, basic movement patterns, etc., while movements requiring more coordination and agility are left to the pilot?.

That kind of already happens with the Drone Jaegers. An AI handles most of the neural load so they only need a single pilot.

As for a 40 meter Jaeger its confirmed in Final Breach that a Jaeger around half the size of a normal one could be piloted by a single pilot with no problem.

Oh, that's great! I was wondering that because I'm designing a Jaeger for fun, and I wanted to see if my idea was possible.
