In auto mode, you can sit back and watch the drivers race.
You can use photo filters by tapping the filter button, direct the drivers to position themselves in different formations with the whistle button, and take screenshots and post them on social media.
Coins and Grand Stars collected by your driver during auto mode will count toward your total after the race, but you cannot complete challenges.
Drivers, karts, and gliders will earn points in auto mode, but your player level will not increase.
