Autopilot is required for the first 12 months of owning your Pod. After that initial period, you can choose to continue your Autopilot selection to enjoy the ongoing benefits and keep your Pod at the forefront of sleep technology.

Autopilot covers the ongoing development, maintenance, and improvement of the advanced features and intelligence that make your Eight Sleep Pod genuinely unique. We encourage you to review the full list of features covered by the Autopilot Membership [here](https://help.eightsleep.com/en_us/what-is-included-in-autopilot-rJu5fs9B3). Thanks to Autopilot, your Pod continuously learns and adapts to your sleep needs.
