auto take off ?

A question : many modern aircraft (and no so recent , eg. Caravelle and Trident) have autoland capabilities up to CAT3B. But does anyone knows if auto take off is (or will be ) available on recent types such as A380-B787 ?
In case negative, Does anyone knows if this has been tried with a commercial airliner recently ?
( I know NASA did use a 707 in the 80's for some unmanned tests, but I doubt the techology used then was very advanced)
