An autopilot can perform an instrument landing, however this does require some preparation of the flight crew (e.g. setting the right frequencies for ILS, reducing airspeed, deploy landing-gear, flaps, apply brakes + thrust reversers).
So simply guiding it to the nearest (suitable) airport would not make a big difference.
