@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 |

I don't think we're saying they're *not* (I mean, they don't exist yet, but looking past that) - I think we're saying they *can't be*, because maritime law will require them to not be. There may also be technical reasons but the legal (& insurance) reasons would supersede them.
