This is not anything particular to Automation, but UE4 in General. Watch some of Epic's tutorials on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl_eoVfNDKU&list=PLZlv_N0_O1gak1_FoAJVrEGiLIploeF3F

Level Creation Guidelines

• The cars in-game check collisiongeometry 6m above the car and 2m below it for placing on the ground. Make sure any geometry in this range doesn't have collision enabled, or you're going to have a bad time trying to move the car in the photoscene.
• Search the content browser for A Car Locator. These are the bookmarks for sub-level positions. Place them wherever you want the car to be, and in the Details panel, give them a name. This name will show up in the levels menu in the photoscene as one of the sub-level positions. You can have as many as you want.
• Currently, Stationary Lights are broken for Automation. use either static or movable lighting in your scenes.
