In modern aircraft automation dependency is encouraged because that's the future of aviation. A350 ATTOL is an indication of that. A350 also automatically takes care of unreliable speed and loss of pressurization. The AP is also available with dual engine flameout. So in rare case of AP loss you are expected to keep your ability to fly a few type of approaches or ability to execute basic manoeuvres like climb, descent and visual circuits. You are not expected to handle everything and every situation manually. Besides no matter how proficient a human gets he can't get rid off human factors. Most accidents are due to human error and by experienced pilots at that. One Sully or Al Haynes don't make a summer. So technology will, if it can't replace(eventually that will happen) want to restrict humans to do limited tasks. So make the best of that is there and have fun while it lasts.
