RTH is meant to bring the AC back to its home points and autoland where you took off from.

Autoland is used in several situations, one situation could be during RTH as above, another example is that battery is not enough to bring the AC back to home point, so autoland would be initiated somewhere on that RTH route. Autoland could also be initiated if the AC discovers you are flying in an no-fly-zone
