I have used auto exposure bracketing on occasions where there is very
contrasty lighting, well above the dynamic range of the digital camera to
capture with a single exposure.
I would then choose selected areas from the underexposed shot (which
exposed the highlights well) and clone those 'better exposed' highlights on to
areas of the 'normally exposed' shot.
Kind of a poor mans HDR rendition.
True HDR has not impressed me as it always seems to look artificial,
but replacing blown highlights with a different capture that has some detail
in those highlights is a reasonable approach I think.

In practice shooting I would expect the entire capture process to take
place on a fractions of a second time scale, which might preclude very active
shots, but which would cover most normal shooting. It would in principle be
similar to the automatic bracketing that some high end film cameras
indulge in if you let them.

The last couple of digital cameras I have had will automatically shoot at
least 3 sequential shots under and over exposed by a value you can control.
I haven't tried it yet, partly because I haven't needed to do it and
partly because the documentation and options are beyond comprehension by the
average human bean.
