I think that is not really related. Following a “guidance system” that’s using gps (and altitude in the planes case) is very different from having a neural net interpret the surroundings visually and make decisions based on that. I don’t know where/why you are attributing sinister motives here… it seems a very understandable motive to make transport better.
