A secure cockpit, with the ability to guide planes by satellite/GPS would be possible I would think as well. Pilots would need to enter a code or verification every waypoint. If the verification does not come in, then the plane can be taken over by the ground. This would have the benefit, of a plane where both pilots are incapacitated could be landed safely, and it would prevent unauthorized takeover of a plane by a hostile ground crew. A breach of the secure cockpit (explosives etc) could be a trigger that forces the plane to be taken over by satellite. (GPS + diferential GPS at airports, should be able to provide positioning to about a meter or less.
