Does Microsoft have any plans to integrate Windows Updates (with Driver Updates) into Autopilot?

There are times when a system is missing important drivers such as the Wi-Fi network driver. If the system is being autopiloted from a USB Ethernet wired connection the user must wait for Windows Updates to complete before the Wi-Fi drivers are installed. Maybe an option in the ESP to install only driver updates would be helpful. Another option might be to place a "windows update" button on the autopilot login screen so the system can be updated before Autopilot is started.
As for the having the user to wait for it to complete it think if some sort of status bar that showed the percent complete the user would be OK waiting. Without a status update the user may think autopilot is stuck and either power cycle the machine or call the help desk.
