My take on the new autonomous mode will be this:

Teams have the option of having an autonomous mode, and how long that autonomous mode will last.

How long your robot runs in autonomous mode is what determines your multiplier. So if you don't run any autonomous, you get a multiplier of 1, but say you do a 15 second autonomous mode, you get a multiplier of 2. 30 seconds could be 3, and 60 seconds could be 4. I wouldn't go higher than that however =)
Yuck... I hear "multiplier" and I get reminded of the confusing scoring from 2001. While your idea is a great way to encourage autonomous action, it would be very, very confusing to score, to follow from the stands, and to strategize.
