I was using a little bit of hyperbole. Currently there are no aircraft equipped for auto-taxi or auto-take-off precisely because this is something that a human pilot can handle better than a machine. It is not even an option offered nor are airports equipped to support it. Auto pilot can be engaged immediately after wheels-up at about 500ft and in principle, with a Cat III aircraft and landing runway, it can fly the whole journey from there to the taxiway, where the pilot would once again take over.
We already have the technology available to fill in those missing parts, should the need ever arise.
