^^^ Agreed. There is no auto-take-off on any airliner I have ever flown (Boeing, Airbus, Fokker). And certainly not on an old MD-80. The most automation on take-off is hand flown up to 200-400 feet with auto-throttles. Enroute is all auto pilot. In the approach area the airplane may be on auto pilot, but you have to manualy set the vector headings as you get aligned with the runway. It is extremely rare not to get some sort of vector. Most airliners are auto land capable, and that can bring you to a full stop on the runway, then you have to hand drive to the terminal.
Thats it. Lets get back on topic instead of bickering about how much a plane can or cant fly its self.
