Radio Altimeter, Auto Pilot, Auto Land, Auto Throttles: NONE of this has anything to do with the fact that the CAPTAIN was NOT paying attention to two BASIC flight instruments; Airspeed and Altitude. If 'automation' FORCED his eyes away from those instruments, then we have a real problem, don't we? On the other hand, if 'automation' prevented him from taking corrective action to save his airplane, we have yet another problem!
