It appears to use the kernel autofs support but replaces the userspace daemon (and replaces the traditional automounter map file format with system.automount unit files). I can appreciate a benefit for personal systems from systemd managing network file system mounts since it's in a position to know when the network is up (this has been a problem with /etc/fstab, NFS/CIFS and NetworkManger for some time) but I'm not sure that large deployments with existing autofs infrastructures will be so keen to make the switch.
