Autonomous driving for helicopters

[dv2000]

Hi, I asked this before but why we cannot have Autonomous driving for helicopters? Cars and airplanes have it. (Follow target)
Thanks

I'm a bit rusty on the details because it's been so many years but Craft Helicopter was the first tool that was built and it was created like a simulator; it's very advanced behind the scenes.
This made it difficult and time consuming to update when the Autonomous mode was introduced, so it was skipped at the time.

Patrik Martin will have to answer if it's planned anytime soon.

There are currently no plans to add autonomous mode to the helicopter. You are actually the first, of what I can remember, that have asked for this feature.
