The whole purpose of a digital signature is to provide a legally verigiable signature. It's still being defined in some countries, but in US and Canada its very specifically defined. Autopen seems to available to rich people as needed, but if the wikipedia article is accurate, a form of autopen has been available to US presidents dating back to Thomas Jefferson. I'd be surprised if the legal minds haven't defined the legal use of autopen somewhere.
