Even in "friendly" space, there's always a chance of NPCs attacking you (CRoberts has said as much).

Your best bet would be to team up with a broker that can contract PCs to protect your stuff while it's on autopilot (for a percentage or exclusivity rights), I'm sure there will be trading corps set up just to facilitate this type of play.
Yes, either an autopilot or contracted escort and that's also why LTI is important because even if I lose my cargo on a run, I don't have to worry about losing my multi million credit ship.
