A 757 can actually land itself with no pilots IF the auto pilot is turned on.

That is what I have heard.

Is that true? I have no clue.

Somebody still needs to run the auto pilot, but the aircraft does have 3D autopilot with auto ILS capability and auto brakes.

And if there's a pilot available, with the otto pilot turned on, other things are possible...
