I do not know of a commercial airline autopilot that does taxi / takeoff.

  That's my point - the public perception (even among a technical crowd) is way off from the reality. People think an "Autopilot" does way more than it actually does.

    I personally don’t agree, people know the pilots have a real role in the plane among even my non-tech friends, but it’s just anecdotal vs your anecdotal so it doesn’t make either of us right or wrong.
