We show that the group of bounded automatic automorphisms of a rooted tree is
amenable, which implies amenability of numerous classes of groups generated by
finite automata. The proof is based on reducing the problem to showing
amenability just of a certain explicit family of groups ("Mother groups") which
is done by analyzing the asymptotic properties of random walks on these groups.
