Dont Hang Up: The short answer is that pilots can ANTICIPATE whereas autopilot response is REACTIVE.

A good example of this would be the well known shear condition at LGW 26L in certain wind directions caused by large hangers ( the clue here is its nickname:
Freddies Revenge! ) No autopilot could be programmed for this.
