Ok so someone made a mistake and applied an auto-pilot command early.....it happens.
As an automation engineer, my first though is why is this even able to happen? Once you are outside the area where you need a local pilot to guide you, shouldn't the system check the GPS location to ensure that the commands make sense. This should be easy to check!
I'm also very surprised the helm doesn't override the autopilot, or cancel itself if there is a conflict, in much the same way aircraft autopilot or cruise control does.
This really does sound like an appalling design to me.
Exactly, industry standard is for local stop (HMI stop) to override any and all start commands unless there is a very good reason to not stop that device.
