QF32 is tricky, but I don't see why a computer couldn't have easily landed US Air 1549. It would have known exactly whether it was capable or not of returning to the airport and immediately deciding on an alternative landing location if not. Handling an engine failure during takeoff and landing on water are both textbook training scenarios for all airline pilots, they would surely be handled by any self flying plane designed to operate without a human pilot.
