Nah. It’s par for the course when you ask someone who is an expert in one field to comment on something outside of their expertise.

If we consider modern large jet airliners and cargo planes to be equivalent to large ships, most of those planes have advanced automation.

While it’s true that category III autoland exists, almost all of autopilot is done via the big sky theory.

Airplane automation has more in common with drawing a line on a map than with piloting a big ship in a small canal.
