What's worse, autopilot is the only thing that can do 'warp to -15k'. We can't even do that manually, which hosed all my mining bookmarks.
Still bitter about that...

If autopilot did warp to zero, I could AFK with my 'ceptor ... pretty much anywhere, certainly in lowsec.
This might be an issue.

If you are AFK hauling then it doesn't really matter so much whether it takes 30 mins or 45 does it? Just read a longer newspaper while taking a dump!

Hmm..
I thought it was give a man a fire and he will be warm for a night. Set a man on fire and he will be warm the rest of his life.

"It is a trivial matter for a pod pilot to engineer a warp bubble that deposits them directly at a specified point in space. However no computerized system has ever been able to safely repeat the procedure more then a handful of times, and thus wise pod pilots never allow automated systems to attempt warp bubble collapse so close to other objects. Unwise Pilots become wise pod pilots usually after the first or second clone and crew, and certainly after the first lawsuit."

Originally by: Pa'ax why doesn't autopilot warp to 0? I can navigate twice as fast manually.
ffs. let's just put jump drives on every ship from shuttles to titans so we can all jump to jita with one click. stfu.
Because I said so...

If two people jump to the same spot at the same time you telefrag them. \o/ ----------

Why would that be an issue? Does sitting at your computer pressing a button everey minute make it any less of an issue? There is no difference between me sitting at my keyboard reading forums and pressing a button every jump than me sitting at my keyboard reading forums while my autopilot does it for me. You guys whined for wp0 because travel was boring, well then you might as well go all the way and make autopilot warp to 0 too.
It is and always remain more safe to travel while active. Autopilot can't react to bubbled gates on jumpin so it won't be safe to autopilot in 0.0 even with warp to 0.

Ooops, deadpan doesn't work does it :/
Let me restate. I think warp to zero is broken in the first place. It's taken instas, which were much abused, and made them worse.
The slight mitigating fact is that it takes a marginal amount of 'at keyboardness' to do it.
If autopilots instaed too, then I'm confident that I could set up a 'ceptor that would be uncatchable, to fly around 0.0 afk, it'd take a large bubble to stop it.
Actually, I suspect I could probably do the same thing with e.g. a Crane, maybe a Bustard. OK I Might have to manually fly through the entry point, but the rest of the journey - no danger.
This would be bad. 0.0 is dangerous, risky, challenging, interesting. 99% safe travel ruins all these things.
For the record. I consider Warp to Zero (and instas) to be broken gameplay, and responsible for sucking a lot of the challenge (and thus the fun) out of EVE. Lots of reasons, not just the combat aspect. I've mentioned them in a few threads, so I'll refrain from doing so again here :).
