[Sonic the Hedgehog Movie] Dr. Robotnik uses one of Sonic's quills to create a weapon capable of moving as fast as Sonic can. But how can his human brain possibly react fast enough to pilot it?

So at the end of the movie, Robotnik builds a flying weapon that can run about as fast as Sonic once he pushes a specific button. First he tries to corner Sonic with a bunch of drones that all fire missiles, but Sonic moves so quickly that he perceives them as basically standing still. However when Robotnik finally pushes the button, the machine immediately begins moving at a speed relative to Sonic, and a big chase ensues. 

But how can Robotnik even pilot this thing? If Sonic moves and thinks fast enough to statue people, he is moving well past the speed of sound, and definitely faster than most people could realistically comprehend a situation much less fly a plane thingy through the streets of San Francisco. It also doesn't appear to be any sort of autopilot, since he is manually moving the controls around during the chase (though he does mention an autopilot later). Robotnik should just be statued inside the cockpit. 

Does it somehow increase his own speed in some way? Or is Sonic just not moving as fast as he can during this chase or something? I figure if he can statue people to pull a prank in a bar, he can easily maintain that speed when running for his life.

His machine used the, for lack of a better word, speed force in Sonic's quill to accelerate itself and everything inside it to match Sonic. This applied to all the component parts of the machine as well as Robotnik.
