Actually they can autoland but not everywhere and then you still need to tell them where, basically tune them in on the right glide path. Then you really need to be prepared to take over any second, which is a dangerous position on its own. (Just like all self driving cars right now.)
It's still possible to select the wrong ILS beacon or entering the wrong speed or whatever, and something can still show up in front of the plane.
It's just better in low visibility where you otherwise manually have to follow the ILS 'needles'.
Didn't a plane crash there killing some chinese schoolgirls just because the pilots forgot to set the correct speed. Either it was set too low or they set it but did not activate it. And then the monitoring pilot forgot to monitor the speed since the autopilot never fails...
