The way the Labview framework is written you cannot get stuck in Autonomous mode. When the field changes over, your autonomous code is terminated whether you are in a loop or not. If you change any of the framework or put your auto code somewhere other than the Autonomous Independent VI, all bets are off. Also I'm not sure if this functionality will work or not if you are in a loop that never yields the processor (IE no loop delay).

This is not the same as the C++ and Java frameworks which have no such functionality (from what I've been told)
