The autonomy engine may implement a superset of the functionality available from other seldom-used components such as MAV_COMP_ID_OBSTACLE_AVOIDANCE, MAV_COMP_ID_PATHPLANNER, MAV_COMP_ID_OBSTACLE_AVOIDANCE, and MAV_COMP_ID_ONBOARD_COMPUTER. + + A single component which presents many attributes and capabilities which prevent it from being binned into any of the other IDs in this enum.
