Autopilot and autoland have been around for a while, but they still need to be set up by the pilot, only operate under certain conditions, and autoland in particular only works at some airports. This is probably not a solution, not for quite a while at least.


The Garmin autoland can automatically activate, determine which airport to land at communicate on ATC frequency to say it is going to land at X airport.
