I was *not* suggesting using the autopilot as it currently exists. I was suggesting a newer autopilot-like function provided by the simulator that can use live pathfinding to move the agent. I was suggesting it because a waypoint list can become obsolete between the time it's generated and the time the path is traversed. A *pathfinding capable* autopilot function could update the waypoint list while in route in case the original path becomes obstructed.
