I can't wait for a future where you can just set a destination (possibly random), go to sleep, and then wake up to a different view each day: http://i.imgur.com/9T7NuhJ.jpg

It's called yachting!

Or night buses.

I think the implication was "without someone else driving / piloting".

I think the counter point is that with gps, radar & autopilot... Yachting is there today, to a degree.

You may not need to physically hold the wheel but someone does have to be awake on watch at all times, even with radar & AIS.

Someone should tell the US Navy: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/22/us_navy_4th_ship_mi...

I don't care how many fancy screens you have, one person on watch with a pair of binoculars should have spotted a bloody oil tanker.

The folks who do round the world solo races might beg to differ
