Fairly sure it still needs the pilot to tell it "now we're taking off", "now we're cruising", "now we're landing" (and under what parameters). Doing that switch automatically seems unsafe.

The other part sounds improbable - quite the opposite, a pilot always needs to be able to take over in case the automatic systems fail.
