From Feb 2003 the 737NG was offered with the fail operational (Cat IIIB) Collins enhanced DFCS. This has an optional rudder servo to give rudder controlled rollout and engine-out capability, although the EO facility is not autoland approved. Note the 737 still only has two autopilots, it is the rudder channel that makes the difference.
