Well, that Autopilot is just for the lazy.
It helps you to get somewhere without attending the game, but that 15km distance to the gate and the time you need to approach it make the autopilot less attractive, and even dangerous in insecure systems.
Well, if you're simply travelling through high-security space (say, hauling some goods to sell in Jita), it's pretty useful for AFK running. I.e. you can read slashdot while your ship is on its way.
And if you really want instant transportation within EVE, go for a Jumpdrive. Its there.
No, the real instant transportation is clone jumping. You can't jump to the other end of the galaxy using a jumpdrive.
There should be an autopilot upgrade that would warp right on top of a stargate instead of 15km away saving a lot of time in the process. Still, it's good that there even is an autopilot.
