Dual engine failure over New York with a landing in a river...
I doubt the computer could have done that.
It will not happen in commercial aviation, to much at stake if the remote system fails for whatever reason.
With the continual de-skilling of the industry, there may come a time when the guy up the front won't be able to achieve this either...
