autopilot systems

Autopilot systems are technology used in aircraft, ships, and vehicles to control navigation and speed without constant human input. They rely on sensors, GPS, and algorithms to maintain the desired course and adjust for changes in conditions. In aviation, for instance, autopilot can handle tasks like maintaining altitude and direction, allowing pilots to focus on other duties. While not fully automatic, these systems enhance safety and efficiency, particularly during long journeys, reducing pilot workload and improving fuel consumption. Autopilot serves as an assistive tool rather than a complete replacement for human control.
