Full Auto land would have auto throttles engaged, autobrakes set and the pilot only has to bring the engines into reverse thrust. After rollout, the typical error is to forget to disconnect the autopilot which will not allow you to turn off the centerline of the runway! Been there, done that.

Also autoland requires specific, approved ILS operating besides the ground clearance mentioned.

Airbus auto and requires the pilot to go to idle thrust, or it will not land.
