It's been my experience that it takes quite a while to get a site to where it can be on autopilot. If you're lucky enough to have a niche where you can drive traffic from SEO alone, you should still be doing work to make sure that position is defensible. Just because it's on autopilot today doesn't mean it'll still be making money tomorrow.
The one site I have on autopilot is only in that state because it makes enough so I can pay people to maintain it...hehe. Let a site sit around long enough, and in most cases, the traffic will decline.
