Autopilot with takeoff and landing is probably a lot easier to implement than auto-driving. Far fewer variables.
A plane landing on autopilot in a snow storm is probably safer than a pilot doing it, given all the sensors and instruments, whereas a self driving car in a snowstorm is unlikely to stay out of a ditch for more than 15 seconds. Certainly a Tesla. Maybe with Lidar systems it becomes more possible. I think Volvo has done a lot of work with them, which makes sense given their headquarter location.
