I really wanted to!
But unfortunately none of the lander's stats are exposed as global variables, so the only way I could make the autopilot was by modifying the existing code. (My commits are actually broken down exactly like this: a commit to expose the necessary variables globally, and another to actually add the autopilot.)
I would also love to be able to play it in the original game though, so I made a PR! I think it would be cool for it to be able to be activated as an easter egg.
