Bit of thread drift but don't count your chickens litebulbs.
I get my lunch from a sandwich machince and coffee from a Clix machine, even some of my spares are from an automated vending machine.
Just need arming mechanisms for the doors controlled by the flight crew and a couple of vending machines and things could change on-board!!
A simplistic view I know but no more simplistic than your view of automation in the flight deck.
