People in general think this is what autopilot means since that is how it is portrayed in movies and books.

What movies are you watching where they turn on autopilot and the plane lands itself??

If anything, movies portray planes as extremely hard to fly, and the heroic pilot always has to take over from the autopilot.

My airplane can land itself. I always assumed that was normal.

In the movie “Airplane” the autopilot is an inflatable humanlike doll full on manning the plane. :-)
