\def\n{{\frak n}} \def\Aut{\mathop{\rm Aut}\nolimits} For a real, non-singular, 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra $\n$, the group $\Aut(\n)/\Aut_0(\n)$, where $\Aut_0(\n)$ is the group of automorphisms which act trivially on the center, is the direct product of a compact group with the 1-dimensional group of dilations. Maximality of some automorphisms groups of $\n$ follows and is related to how close is $\n$ to being of Heisenberg type. For example, at least when the dimension of the center is two, $\dim \Aut(\n)$ is maximal if and only if $\n$ is of Heisenberg type. The connection with fat distributions is discussed.
