Comment on How hard can it be to design a self-driving boat for inland shipping? (2020)parent

Comments

There are already gps-based systems that can do this on large ships but they are designed for open-water and can keep the boat surprisingly stable even in high winds as long as the ship has thrusters.

You are right though, being by the dock is harder although at this point, you are likely to have some kind of personnel to help tether the boat to the quay.
