A question about autoland

I have a question, tonight a Delta Airline pilot said: be advised, we will use auto landing approach. I have never experienced this before, I ask another pilot, he said it is non sence to say this to controller, does anybody know why he said this? It was CAVOK that night, do pilots use another way to land some other time?
As far as I know, usually pilot will fly with autopilot and visual runway before decision height, then disconnected autopilot at certain altitude, is that what pilots usually do ?
