I think it's also worth remembering that commercial airlines already fly on autopilot most of the duration. Pilots fly takeoff, landing, and unexpected scenarios, the rest of the time they're just monitoring the system.
Here's some fun tidbits:
Autopilot landings are actually preferred in bad weather (where airport is equipped).
> On a typical commercial flight, autopilot is used for almost 90% of the flight.
> The autopilot can be engaged as early as 5 seconds after lift-off
> autopilot must be used when flying above 29,000 feet
