Because it's an emergency feature engaged by a passenger or automatically, it probably can't manage all complex situations. It may be just good weather emergency landing. Check fuel and wind, steer to nearest emergency airport and land. Best effort is better than no effort and dying.

I think it can land only to those airports that are it's database with landing approaches programmed it.
Cruise missiles have had similar technology for a long time.
