NN,
My question is --- so?
If this is the incident I think you are referring to, it was a low speed departure from the runway due a issue that was not directly related to the fact an auto land was carried out. Again, as I recall, weather/viz. was not a factor.
If you were to use this SQ incident as a criteria, there would be no more auto-lands, to ensure the circumstances could not be replicated.
Nice try, but wrong on all counts. The crew (Captain?) decided due to the "average" conditions that they'd do an autoland. Didn't tell ATC and a 146 took off just before them (LLZ corruption). The aircraft speared off the runway to the left almost immediately after touchdown, then proceeded to do a all-wheel broggy across the runway into the dirt on the other side.
As for "replication" the only replication not needed was the crew to not do a autoland without LVPs...
Please do some research before engaging keyboard.
