Are there autopilot systems that do any sort of drone, bird, or other aerial object avoidance? Then, aren't regional cultural ethics necessary to solve a troll

  There's collision avoidance systems, but those are really for "not flying into another plane". You're going so fast that by the time you can pick up that you're about to hit a drone or bird, you've destroyed it -and possibly yourself- already. Military drones are a different matter: you will never find yourself in the same air space, because you will never be told they're there. They are ghosts, much like airplanes that run without a transponder "because it's legal". You don't see another aircraft unless you know exactly where to look, or you're right on top of them.
