During Gatorbox's inaugural production run through Livestream, the autopilot was a collection of videos that would play to viewers while the stream was offline. The videos were curated by the Gatorbox cast and crew and generally followed the same half-hour pattern of a 10 minute Gatorbox video, 10 minute episode of Jontron or other similar show, and 10 minutes of various web culture videos. These half-hour blocks would then be randomized with station idents set up to play during the transitions from one to the next.

The autopilot was one of the most well-received aspects of the original Gatorbox show, however when the stream moved from Livestream to Twitch this functionality was not kept and the autopilot was retired.

Revival

In 2026, Draco stated his intent to make a second attempt at launching a 24/7 "always on" secondary channel that ran an endlessly looping shuffled playlist of Gatorbox content, "GatorboxTV". The vast majority of the content (>85%) is comprised of old Gatorbox content, however peppered into the database are several videos from non-Gatorbox shows that Draco has worked on. Also included in this small slice of content are old viral videos and other memorable pieces of web culture. While not a complete replacement for the original autopilot, GatorboxTV does act as something of an analog.
