The APM will fly fully automatic routes and help you fly in certain modes, but it still needs Radio RC equipment (tx and rx), telemetry radios, GPS, ESC's and power to operate.
Without getting too political, that's just the way it should be - with humans always in ultimate control (via radio rx/tx). I'm sure APM could fly completely automated without any rx/tx gear if the community wanted it to, but I for one am glad it doesn't.
