Do you want to use the aircraft again?

It's an interesting question.

Autoland will not and is not designed to to flare and govern a RoD at touchdown of 360' pm, from the QRH.

In the final approach stages:

TARGET SPEED VLS
Reduce the selected speed on the FCU to reach VLS at runway threshold.
Touch down as smoothly as possible (Maximum V/S at touchdown 360 ft/min).

However you might get consider using Autoland in certain circumstances such as pilot incapacitation.
