Will new auto-park feature on cars be adaptable to boats?

Interesting thought Chuck but as you know it will never happen. If the sensors could keep track of the docking vessel's exact position relative to other boats and the open space at the dock, and if there is effectively 360 degree variable propulsion available (coming close with the Volvo IPS system, for example) moderate wind or current wouldn't be insurmountable in the equation. The system would need to compensate, instantly, as variables changed. I don't think it's something we will see soon- but something we could easily see eventually. I guess it is all a matter of time.......can your fantasy system update position of the pilot boat and surrounding obstructions in a millisecond time frame and have propulsion systems react within the same milliseconds? Why milliseconds? A human can't do that. |
