Re: Autopilot

Real autopilots do even less : they just keep flying straight and level.

Nope, you can code in a complete route, with waypoints and all. But such tends to be devoid of other traffic or at least at a sufficient distance to take action before it becomes a problem. It's not a traffic dense environment, nor do planes cross your flight part perpendicularly to your own direction..
