The smaller, regional planes do not have that autopilot unless I am mistaken.

Yes they do. The DeHavilland Dash-8 (37-seat twin turboprop) even has autoland.

The smaller, regional planes do not have that autopilot unless I am mistaken. A lot of regional planes these days are jets and they have modern avionics including autopilot. Weekend pilots can get a portable inertial navigation unit with a virtual display for a couple of thousand dollars used. So even a Cessna 152 can have the capability that only the most expensive jets had a decade ago.

Sure they do. My buddy’s Cessna 172 (4 seater) has auto pilot.
