The autopilot is a built in system included in every ship in eve. When a course is set, and the autopilot activated by clicking on the A button when in space, the ship's warp core is automatically locked to the gravity well of the next Stargate and activated. Due to technical and safety concerns, the autopilot can only warp a ship to 15km of the gate, where the ship must proceed to the gate at sublight speeds. Once within jump range of the stargate, the autopilot will activate the gate, and repeat the process until it has reached its destination, or a predetermined waypoint.
NOTE
The autopilot is only capable of locking to an artificial gravity well created by a Stargate. Artificial gravity wells created by using the ships bookmarking systems are not possible to be programmed into the autopilot. The same is true for "genuine" wells created by solid objects in space.
