Can any of the existing (remaining) shuttles launch, enter orbit,
reenter, and land completely unmanned, i.e., completely under computer
control? Or could they be modified to do so without too much trouble?

Suppossedly this has been possible from the very beginning. If they could
automatically dock with the space station (the Russian capsules can so it
should be possible for the shuttle) then it would be useful for ferrying
supplies to continue construction.
