It is achieved through incredibly fast data processing; the data from sensors is processed at 2.5 billion inputs per second—pretty large number, in order to create a precise action.
It serves similar to Auto-pilot in planes, after taking-off and gaining the desired altitude it’s normally set to auto-pilot mode for few hours before landing.
