Pilots won't do autolands most of the time because the airport won't protect the sterile arrival approach above 800 ft and 2 miles. If the pilots don't trust the system how could automation compensate for it? I have had full scale localizer deflections on ILS's with only a departing aircraft crossing the runway at 200 ft on a crossing runway. Some day they might have one pilot who can maybe fly a bit monitoring the automation but it won't happen in my lifetime.
