Tasteless, but:
and what happens when a pilot starts daydreaming?
Or if they are high or drunk or distracted by something? Or deliberately suicidal or out to do terrorism?

Don’t know about day dreaming but I know that I’ve taken-off and landed a full-sized jetliner several times in my sleep. The dreams have been so vivid that I recall adjusting the trim wheel on approach, closing the throttles and activating the reverse thrust switch with my index finger on touchdown.
I have never flown a large plane and my training days in the Cessna are 36 years past. Guess I’ve been watching too many YouTube videos of cockpit landings of 747s and the like. Freaky !
So if all that is required is to just sit there and wish yourself to land, what happens when the weather wishes your aircraft to do otherwise?
You have a great point. That kind of single minded focus is nearly impossible to maintain for extended periods of time. Cool sci-fi tech but I think this will have the potential for some costly mishaps.
Before it’s over I think they will totally bypass Foxfire and move directly to Skynet. Skynet has no conscience therefore would not hesitate to kill the enemies of the state, like the Ta Party, old people, people that understand the constitution, veterans, whites and Asians, people not driving hybrids, and the most evil of them all, Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz.
