What would be sweet is if the 'autothrottle' could be programmed to fly a steady approach speed for landing, but allow the throttle to be pulled to idle in the flare. I know, I know, you'd still need to be proficient in managing speed and glidepath in case the gizmo starts acting up, but, boy, it sure would be nice to normally just focus on glideslope and let the speed take care of itself.
