Autodoors are powered doors that open and close a lot faster than regular doors of the same material.
The autodoor draws 50 W of power at all times. If not enough power is available, the autodoor behaves just like a regular door of the same material.
Contrarily to the in-game description, not all autodoors allow unimpeded movement. Actually, a powered autodoor opens at 400% speed. This means that all powered autodoors not made of stone do not slow colonists down. Stone autodoors open slightly faster than regular wooden doors.
A very fast moving pawn would be slowed even by the fastest autodoors, because none of them open instantly.
Since autodoors also close faster, they help in situations when a pawn needs to flee from a threat. The door will more likely than a regular door. close before the pursuer can step through or block the door from closing.
The below animation displays the difference in slow down and door opening/closing speed (the animals all have an identical movement speed of 5 c/s).
