I've heard that the computer in the US space shuttles is capable of 
completely landing the craft, and the only thing needed is for the pilot to 
lower the landing gear at the appropriate time.  Primarily to give the pilot 
something to do. :-) I couldn't say how true such a thing is, but it sounds 
right.
