I was about to post a snarky reply, but after actually reading TFA, it's not clear that this plane does anything different from a modern-ish commercial aviation autopilot except for being able to set it remotely. Still waiting for "real" autonomous flight meaning path planning.

The Garmin Autonomi system can do a limited form of real autonomous flight including path planning. It's mainly intended to automatically land the aircraft at the nearest safe airfield in case the human pilot becomes disabled.
