Sailboat weather-routing that has been fully automated for years. I see nothing new here apart from some hand wavy neural network stuff. https://www.fastseas.com/ https://www.fastseas.com/ is a neat web app that even has an API. Just set start and finish, hit route and you get an optimized route for your sailboats characteristics.
