Actually the first generation of cruise missiles were the Nazi V-1 and it's American, British and Soviet offshoots which were quite dumb.

Then we had things like Snark, Navaho and Regulus which had star trackers and spark-plug guidence systems but which were also dumb.

The AGM-86 series of GLCM. SLCM and ALCM were smarter, but they are not autonomous but they do have some logic built in when you get to the BGM 109 Tomahawk TASM.

The Tomahawk is about the third or fourth generation of cruise missile the US has produced.

The first Nazi anti-ship missiles were wire guided as are the TOW series of American missiles, the Sagger Russian missiles and the HOT European weapons.
