Sorry for the shit image quality but here’s another ad by the same company for a better idea of it

Flew over the may day rally in San Francisco.

They’re dabbing on us

    No. You manually make a turn, set autopilot to go straight and level, then turn when needed, then Set autopilot again. Repeat.

    I don’t even think modern autopilots are capable of doing what you’re suggesting here. What gives you this idea?

        The pilot makes adjustment, most of the flight is done automatically.

        It’s like farmers equipment, there’s still a driver even though he can nod off and nothing will go wrong. And if it does, alarms go off.

        And how complex is complex? They can make prescribed turns and adjustments, but not what you are suggesting. Got a link or something? And funnily enough, those would be electronic systems. Not the wholly hydraulic like you were originally talking about.

        Do you have a point you want to stick to? Or you just throwing whatever comes to your mind out? Maybe google some of this first? It’s all readily available online.
