The pilot(s) operate the autopilot(s).

A degree of strategic planning may be used in the set-up when the aircraft is equipped with a programmable Flight Management Computer.

Information about the surrounding traffic may be read of a TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) but is not fed into autopilot.
