Autonomy is proven in boring, repeatable control loops, not just edge cases

The author shares an insight on autonomous systems: the real moat lies not in handling complex edge cases, but in mastering the boring, simple, and repeatable control loops (like clean start, climb, hold, descend, stop). If a system cannot own this basic loop without human rescue, it won't survive the hard cases. The boring milestones are the real barrier.
