I've seen them start without everybody ready only twice, but it would be a good thing to bring back.

I'm not a programmer but what's wrong with calling autonomous mode "pre-programmed instructions"?

Also, I dunno if it applies to other regionals, but the two I drove at this year, if you held up a thumbs down they'd wait for you.
