Autopilot can't deal with crosswinds on landing.

Ba Ha Ha Ha, I trust the autopilot program more than those alcoholic & drugged down pilots !! Rotflmfao

Yes it is. The problem first appeared in Asian carriers and was highlighted by the Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crash landing in San Francisco. The use of autopilot was a contributing factor. Three people died. Reliance on autopilot reduces a pilots stick and rudder skills.

Good god, no!
