The autopilot thing is a different hobby. That said, I firmly believe that no one has any business taking off in a plane with an autopilot without having the skills to fly the plane manually first. The electronic devices are amazing pieces of tech, but they do sometimes let you down. The launcher of an autonomous vehicle is still the pilot, and that carries with it the responsibility of making sure the vehicle will be flown safely and in complete control. The drone crowd is growing rapidly in my area, and some of those guys aren't even competent to bring a hexcopter in when the GPS fails. Some have had flyaways and lost their whole investment, a perfect consequence of their lack of metal effort and care.
