What is "a sticky situation"?
Auto-land works very well when the visibility is low, winds are calm, and runway is long. Auto-land can not handle significant crosswinds, short, slick runways, nor any number of other unusual circumstances. The purpose of auto-land is to allow landings when the visibility is too low for a pilot to make the flare and touchdown. There are only a handful of runways in the country that have CATIIIb auto-land certification.
