Default Automatic mixture setting

I haven't looked closely at all of the different fuel injection options for IO-320 and IO-360 engines. Are any of these equipped such that the fuel injection will adjust for air flow and altitude to eliminate the need to adjust mixture? (I know the autos we currently have are so equipped to automatically lean.)

And the follow-up....

Would such an automatic mixture control actually find the proper mixture? Do they use anti-knock sensors?

TIA,

Bill
