Swed,
I'm not sure why you don't trust autonomous flight. For me, it's one of the best ways to explore a new area or get some more precise footage of what I really want to see. I do a great deal of autonomous flying although not near public places where people are normally present. Mostly in somewhat remote areas with good satellite penetration. I've been flying this way very successfully with my P2V+v3 and my P3Pro with the Litchi and Ultimate Flight apps. I also have been flying autonomously with my Solo and the Tower app.
I love free flying but if I want to cruise a long distance through the crooks and curves of a river, creek or around the shoreline of my lake it's a great way to fly. As long as you spend the time building, checking and rechecking your work before putting the bird in the air it pretty much works flawlessly. After a year and a half of extensive flying (I hope I don't jinx myself) I haven't had a single Ground Station or Waypoint issue. I have on the other hand, had a handful or two of self-created issues while free flying. To each his own, I guess.
