Who do you think docks their uncrewed dragon capsule? They definitely have automated docking. This is for emergency manual override.

As far as I know it flies autonomously to within a certain range, then gets piloted by crew members on the ISS until it's close enough to be grabbed by the Canadarm for berthing to the station.
