I write everyday. No set time. I write in snatches, whenever I can. I carry my notebook with me always. A couple of times I have written while driving on the freeway. (No, that is not advice on how to write. Stupid of me.)
By automatic writing do you mean “free write?” Then yes. If you mean write without thoughtful control, then pretty much all the time. Revision requires thought, not so much drafting.
Where ever I am is my work space. I do not have a place set aside to write. I write, I am my workspace.
I am comfortable writing, where ever that may be. I distrust people who write as a public spectacle, who need to be noticed writing. Writing is inherently an introverted act.
To write regularly, one must sit down and write. Don’t wait for the right time or place (that’s a Whitman paraphrase), just write. Sometimes (most of the time?) it will be bad, but every now and then one comes up with a really good line. That is worth it. Writing is work. Go to work.
