Another successful flight for SpaceX's Starship apart from the landing-in-one-piece thing

It matters because Musk has stated that he wants to got to Mars in this thing. Okay Mars gravity is less than Earth gravity but the atmosphere seems to change density which would explain the death rate of Mars probes. Starship takes off fine, it travels fine, it just cannot land fine.

He wants to go to Mars in it? Will they be relying on autopilot on Mars or like the Eagle landing on Luna will they have a test pilot on hand to take over just in case?
