Gregory's Server@BathysphereHat @castironflower @FeralRobots @MaddieT @stavvers oh i am sure that much like self driving cars they will not have any build issues.
they will be no trouble at all in a busy port, docking around one of those will be a breeze

@FeralRobots @BathysphereHat @castironflower @MaddieT @stavvers oh, so they're not actually automated. well that's a massive relief.  @thegarbagebird @BathysphereHat @castironflower @MaddieT @stavvers @FeralRobots @thegarbagebird @BathysphereHat @MaddieT @stavvers my understanding is the goal fully automated fleets in international waters and human ran within ports @FeralRobots @thegarbagebird @BathysphereHat @MaddieT @stavvers looks like i was combining two projects but it looks like it is legal for robots to drive big ships @FeralRobots @BathysphereHat @castironflower @MaddieT @stavvers that's what i’d like to think too, but tech companies tend to find things like laws restrictive. they stifle ‘innovation’ and cut into profit margins @thegarbagebird @BathysphereHat @FeralRobots @MaddieT @stavvers they dont doc in port automatically but are driven in by humans the ocean is big and accidents are rare at high seas @castironflower @thegarbagebird @BathysphereHat @MaddieT @stavvers @BathysphereHat @castironflower @FeralRobots @MaddieT @stavvers i agree that in open water, they will be effective. i just don't know how they will get there. my guess is with expensive port refits it will be doable. |

They've got motors for maneuvering in port & no port in the world will let them pilot automatically. So that honestly won't be an issue.
