Capable of handling _each_ of the functions (NOT switching between the modes - "sit on tarmac, punch in destination, go take a nap"; plus I'm not entirely sure if the feature you describe as autotakeoff even exists outside Hollywood), exclusively on the happy path with strict minima, with pilots required to take over at once in case of any irregularity. Highly convenient, but not a self-flying miracle.
Nope. There are features such as thrust assymetry compensation, and you could technically engage the autopilot as low as 200 ft AGL, but I maintain that there is no automatic takeoff available on commercial aircraft (there's something related on catapult-launched fighter jets, but that's quite another world).
If you're claiming a feature exists "in the Dreamliner and the Airbus 380...over a decade" - well, [citation-needed], then: all the sources that I've managed to find are unanimous that it doesn't, e.g. http://www.askthepilot.com/questionanswers/automation-myths/
To quote the pilot above:
"That fantasy insists on outpacing reality is perhaps symptomatic of our infatuation with technology, and the belief that we can compute our way out of every dilemma or complication."
Some modern airports REQUIRE pilots to use auto landing if their plane supports it. I know because I have a friend who is a commercial pilot and they don't like flying those routes because it is boring. Most airports let the pilots fly manually if they want.
Possible. What I'm saying is "the plane can do many things, but 1. won't switch modes e.g. from cruise to autoland, and 2. even so, it's just a different way of controlling the plane, it does not fly itself."
