In your /etc/apt/apt.conf.d,  edit a file named 50unattended-upgrades

// Automatically reboot *WITHOUT CONFIRMATION* if
//  the file /var/run/reboot-required is found after the upgrade
Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "true";

// Automatically reboot even if there are users currently logged
// in.
Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot-WithUsers "true";

Without those two lines, you get the behavior you currently
have.

Not everyone wants automatic reboots; not everyone wants
automatic reboots even with someone logged in.
