Aircraft can fly themselves better, smoother, more efficiently than a human could, they can land themselves, soon they will taxi themselves and soon they will take off without crew control input.

Another comment, from someone lacking two clues. "Auto Land" technology has been around for 30 years. The rest of your statement isn't going to happen in your life time.

At the end of the day, little has changed with the introduction of "Guidance" technology. The Pilots still fly the Aircraft as much, or as little, as they choose.

You had best continue to hope there are skilled Pilots, in Command of any Aircraft you choose to ride in the back of.
