George's car scheme takes one in (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

autopilot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'george's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'car scheme takes one in' is the wordplay.
'car' becomes 'auto' (automobile).
'scheme takes' becomes 'plot' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'plot' enclosing 'i' is 'pilot'.
'auto'+'pilot'='AUTOPILOT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for autopilot that I've seen before include "Plane on ...... is under automatic control" , "Airman's 'George'" , "flight aid" , "Robot flier?" , "It can fly plane" .)
