I feel like automated flight could always avoid incident by detecting all objects (at the same elevation) within $x feet, and if the object is north of you, move up $y feet, and if it’s south, move down $y feet, unless another object is above/below you, in which case veer $z degrees clockwise and continue travel until you can change elevation?

I’ve heard some Airbus have it tied into their auto pilot too. When all else fails, the rule is “turn right”.
