Actually, it was the autoland feature that crashed that plane. The computer
wouldn't let the pilot go around.

Actually, you are totally wrong.

"The newly delivered aircraft was to perform a charter flight on
behalf of the Mulhouse Flying Club. The crew was to overfly
Mulhouse-Habsheim airport two times (first at low speed, gear down at
100ft and the other at high speed in clean configuration) as part of
an airshow. The aircraft took off from Basle-Mulhouse at 2:41pm local
time and climbed to 1000 feet. The crew started the descent three
minutes later and Habsheim was in sight at 450ft agl. The first
officer informed the captain that the aircraft was reaching 100ft at
14:45:14. The descent continued to 50ft 8 seconds later and further to
30-35ft. Go-around power was added at 14.45:35. The A320 continued and
touched trees at the end of the runway at 14:45:40 with a 14° pitch
attitude and an engine speed of 83% N1. The plane sank slowly into the
forest and a fire broke out. Failure of the Captain to maintain
sufficient altitude and airspeed for recovery after a low approach to
a runway with obstacles near the departure end."
