Here in the states the Tech Universities are competing for the first Robot Vehicle to cross a portion of Death valley. Been going on for a few years now and no one has won the prize yet. The vehicles have gotten jambed up in washes, fences, high rocks and so forth.
Now you want a sailboat to cross the Atlantic? The computer on board having to plan on how to tack a course. the various sailing points. When to reduce sail etc. etc. etc. It would need to have true Artificial Intelligence.
Well at least as much intelligence as a monkey.
