In page 101 of the RBB sez "If a drone or RPV has an autopilot, the rigger
can issue it one sentence commands such as "Circle this area," " Shoot
anyone
that that comes through this door," "Follow this car," and the like. The
more
specific and detailed the command, the greater the chance the autopilot will
become confused." And I find it highly unlike that a rating one autopilot is
capable of such a performance
