A computer could be told to ditch a plane in a river, but would it take obstacles (i.e. boats) into account? Nope, we can't really rely on computers, because the process behind the decision making takes more than fast calculation.

It will take the obstacles into consideration if it has the sensors to detect them. That has nothing to do with judgement.

they don't have the sensors you describe, remember they are all about saving costs so they aren't likely to get them either.

Obviously, they would have to add them if they wanted to replace the pilot.
