Cat III 'auto land' is not all its cracked up to be. One small error on the inputs, an incorrect barometer setting for example can lead to a mess.

Most pilots cut off the AP as soon as the runway is in sight if the runway is not in sight within 300 feet its time to place your fate in the hands of technology built by the lowest bidder. Not an attractive situation.

But Im sure all the passengers were veeery understanding
