My ship drives itself better than most humans drive cars

[00:00:00]My ship basically drives itself across the ocean. And it's honestly better at staying in a straight line than most people are at driving to work. I'm talking about autopilot that can hold course for thousands of miles while I sleep.

[00:00:14]This thing is steering 1,400 ft of steel.

[00:00:17]That's longer than the Empire State Building is tall.

[00:00:20]It adjusts for wind, waves, and ocean currents every single second. The computer makes over 3,000 tiny steering corrections per hour.

[00:00:29]Meanwhile, I'm up here drinking coffee and checking that it's not about to hit anything. Tomorrow, I'll show you what happens when the autopilot breaks and I have to steer this monster by hand.
