Planes most certainly do have to deal with wildlife (e.g. birds) appearing suddenly in their path regularly.

This is a ridiculous statement. Are you seriously saying that birds regularly fly at over 30000 ft? Or are you trying to imply that autopilot during landing/takeoff actively tracks birds and tries to avoid them?

In other words, the plane autopilot doesn't "deal" with wildlife at all unless you count running into it. Which is apparently what Tesla autopilot does as well.

I am saying that planes use auto pilot (e.g. Terrain-following radar and Autoland) have to deal with birds and yes they hit them.
