Could Autopilot Descend When Pressure Drops?

With the passengers on the Helios flight apparently freezing and the crew apparently incapacitated, I wonder if the autopilot could or should be programmed to descend to an altitude where people could breathe and not freeze to death.

So, would such a modification to autopilot technology be feasible
