There's a book, Our Robots, Ourselves by David Mindell, which describes the aviation experience with auto-land. Auto-land is no longer used for this reason, and the related one that the automatic system gives up when the situation is bad and you only have seconds to recover, which is when you want the pilot to have been paying attention for quite a while.
Planes use pilot assistance (head-up displays of where the plane thinks it's going, and where it thinks it should be going), rather than automatic landing systems these days.
