I think the sailing industry is not keeping up with necessary technology. If a tesla can drive itself why not a power cat. If auto driving cars are supposed to cut down on accidents why not rental boats? I sail because I like to sail, trim sails, ect. If you drive a power cat you just want to get 'there'. If any of you entrepreneurs want to get this going just PM me. NOT. But think of the idea. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />


They can! It all comes down to costs and complexity. A Tesla is on the order of 4 times the cost of other 4 seat cars. Add the marine environment and the cost would be extraordinary. Planes fly themselves, Cars operate themselves... that still requires human eyes, minds, and skills to oversee that auto operate mode.
