The Caravelle claim quoted above
"On January 9, 1969, the first ever fully-automatic landing of a commercial aircraft with passengers- a French domestic service on a Caravelle III – was conducted in Paris-Orly.”
is misleading. As the other linked thread points out the claim mentions that it was the first in CAT III conditions. BEA Tridents had carried out many automatic landings IN GOOD VISIBILITY before then. So the first autolands in passenger service were with Tridents - but not necessarily in thick fog!
