The object of this article is to initiate the study of the subgroup structure of automatic groups. The authors show two main results: Centralizers of finite subsets in biautomatic groups are themselves biautomatic. Every polycyclic subgroup of a biautomatic group is Abelian-by-finite. The work includes a brief section on open problems.
