Automobiles have not stopped people from running races, going for walks, and riding horses.
A robot that scouts for lift when I start to get low sounds good. I would use this to fly safer and have more fun.

I think I'll stay home today and get in a good flight... Why bother to
go to the airport and actually drag my ship out of the hangar?

Work done by Mark Maughmers students at Penn State. John Bird and Jack Langellan earned an OSTIV diploma for their paper to the 2012 Congress which I believe started this line of work.
John presented at the SSA Convention in Greenville on autonomous Soaring. I was bummed that it was during the same time as my talk so I missed it. Cool stuff! Maybe we should get them to sniff for us at contests.

http://www.popsci.com/new-software-l...inds-for-hours Yes! Automated soaring will be SAFER! Anyone against using this technology in sailplanes is anti-safety and wants people to die. I am going to get out ahead of the game and demand that this technology be mandatory for all U.S. contests from 2017 onward.
