I think they have been landing by wire since the 50s. The current system is GPS based which allows them to land on auto without having to approach dead on. Whatever, being the small kid that I am when on a plane I still think its cool that a computer lands the plane. Hopefully they will one day computerise the cabin service (in the cheap seats at least) and then maybe Pucci you'll be able to sit at the back all flight long waiting to act only in an emergency. If BA follow the US airlines and install high speed internet access you might be able to browse FlyerTalk all day and we wouldn't have to wait for your return from your travels for your postings.
