The autopilot visits each waypoint, and then starts over from the beginning, and so on.
Circle - If the first and last waypoint are close to each other, you may want to choose circling.

The autopilot operates in one of three modes: The Autopilot cannot steer wheels though - the "Control Wheels" option that you see in the Remote Control Panel refers to the player-steered Remote Control, not to the Autopilot function. The Autopilot can control thrusters and gyroscopes to reach the listed waypoints. The Autopilot will interpret the list as a queue, starting from the top and working its way to the bottom, travelling from one to the next. To make corrections, select a misplaced coordinate from the Waypoints list and click Remove. To add a location, select a coordinate from the "GPS Locations" list and click Add.

The Remote Control (short: RC) block and the Automaton blocks (short: AI) support an optional autopilot function.
