Landing in zero visibility??

HI

I assume that modern airliners now can land with zero visibility (clouds and fog) by using the autopilot etc.

But what if the autopilot stopped working? Are you pilots trained to manually land in zero visibility? Is it possible or would you just go to a different airport where the weather was better.

TIA

Jon.

ps. I just had a go on FS2002 at the "landing 737 blind at heathrow" flight, and crashed

It was very difficult!
