I was reading up on several air disasters, among them:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_South_Dakota_Learjet_crash
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_522
and I was wondering, with today's hardware, would it be possible for
an autopilot computer system to land the airplane at the nearest
airport (or in the nearest flat area) in the event that the pilot was
incapacitated, or in the event that cabin depressurization was
detected at high altitude?
