Autoland not an option ?

Quick question as SLF to all professional pilots out there.

Would auto-land not have been a better option in this case, given that the FO was more or less incapacitated and the captain "was at the upper limit of what he was capable to do in his bad bodily shape" (quote from avherald) ?

14L is CATIII and with the A-319 they could have done an auto-land with auto-roll-out down to taxi speed (according to the web).

Thanks for any input.
