The Buran had an automatic flight guidance system, where it was able to operate without crew. In fact the only space flight that it did, was done without a single person onboard. Was launched into orbit, and then returned and landed fully autonomously. Considering how far behind the soviets were in computers back then, its impressive the amount of work and maths that went into it to make it happen!

First off autopilots are not that just machines crunching the numbers from data and making the correct adjustments to flight surfaces. As far as the Soviets abilities to pull it off they already had a lot of experience from unmanned craft with all the space probes they had launched. The space shuttle was also flown mostly on auto pilot. The entire landing sequence was on computer control until it entered heading alignment cone where the commander took over at some point.

Yes, it is because at the beginning, the Buran should have had also two jet engines. This is to have a much longer glide path, allowing him to land better and have more chances to land in a controlled way in Russia or in a runway of the Soviet Republics. Initially, the engines had to be two Dobrynin RD-7, the same as the Tu-22 Blinder. Afterwards the two atmospheric engines were canceled. The buran had an impressive autopilot and navigation system for the time. During the tests, the space shuttle surprised everyone when, all alone, it decided to reverse a turn during a Landing procedure, because the wind had changed. When they saw her turn, the engineers thought now to malfunction and prepared to say goodbye forever to the shuttle. Instead the Buran landed perfectly alone thanks to his computer and without any crew intervention (and because there was no one on board).

Not only in automatic mode, but also with participation, as it is now fashionable to say: with an artificial intelligence algorithm. When landing, Buran independently changed the set landing trajectory and entered from the other side. Upon further investigation, it turned out that the Buran had suffered from gusts of wind and changed the landing trajectory taking into account the weather and chose a new optimal trajectory. There was such a civilization: the USSR.

Буран, завершая свой единственный полет, собрал данные о погоде и переписал сам себе программу, зашел на посадку с другой стороны против ветра. Будто им управлял живой летчик. Про учебный Буран я слышал, рассказывали как он сам взлетал и садился.
