The pilot lands the plane. It is still too complex for automation.

a pilot lands a plane manually, as auto pilot does not work under a certain height. it works on a similar basis to cruise control on a car.

Do you mean landing a big commercial airbus or small plane?
Airbus tends to have auto pilot set up for landing which majority of pilots use, but they can do it manually.
Small planes have to be landed manually.

The newer aircraft can take-off, fly and land by auto-pilot

The pilot manually lands and executes the takeoff of the aircraft.

I have heard instances of remote control but in the non-experimental world, a pilot must land a plane.

Autolands are not done very often. They can be made in good and bad weather but they are usually carried out when RVR (Runway Visual Range) is low.
A CAT I ILS approach requires an Touchdown Zone RVR of more than 550m and a DH (decision height) of no less than 200`
A CAT II ILS approach lowers the minimums to 300m and 100`.
A CAT IIIa ILS approach lowers them to 200m and 50`.
A CAT IIIb ILS approach has RVR down to 75m and no DH.
