Once you’ve selected your target planet on the map (or select the planet by looking at it and pressing L3) you can then autopilot to the planet with up on the d-pad (tells you top left of the screen). Landing is a bit tricky but you can definitely just slam the ship into the ground, as the loops are short it’s not the end of the world if it gets beat up. Pressing square or x to activate the landing camera can help too.
Autopilot will sometimes zoop you into the sun. You have to kinda get into the headspace of orbital mechanics to make it work right. That game is wondrous.

That’s true, fairly easily avoided by holding the up or down trigger until you’ve got a clear line of sight to your target before engaging autopilot.
