I understand. I was referring to autonomous computers for trading in general. I remember a year or two ago Goldman went after some Russian national who had designed and patented one of their systems. It incorporated multiple telephone switches. The guy ran off with the schematics and copies of the software. They caught him and he was indicted. But the story gave a glimpse of how these systems could issue then cancel orders in a millisecond.
Seems to me that event was what brought HFT to light in the first place.
