Like automatic differentiation is it possible to use it to integrate too? Kind of like f = ma; a = f/m; velocity = integral (a) dt; position = integral (v) dt ?

Unfortunately no, for the same reasons as there's no chain rule for integration (the very same reasons, in fact, as autodiff is built on the chain rule).
