You guys know I’m the long distance driving champ. You can bet your ass that the last thing I would do during a 20 hour drive is turn on cruise control. Of any type. It is lie taking a sleeping pill. I’m not in favor of any type of auto pilot. 

And planes have been landing on their own for 40 plus years. I was on one in Greece 🇬🇷 when I was 12 landing in Corfu. 

As far as I know, this doesn't happen anymore since that accident with Lufthansa(?) when the height wasn't OK (the computer identified a higher height than the plane actually was, so they crashed). Since that time, I think the fully auto landing has been disabled and isn't used anymore (maybe some of the pilots here in the forum can shed some light into it).
