The issue is alarm fatigue. Couple this with the regular result of a collision avoidance situation being to go at most ~0.5 NM behind. You also have issue with corners where the vectors will intersect. There are projects to start trying to share waypoints through something similar to AIS which may help reducing the number of alarms to something workable.
Look here for a nice example of chaos (or anywhere around Europe for that matter):

Still, if ships where to broadcast their planned route every minute they could even handshake/agree a conflict avoidance strategy, like planes do. It still feel like an easier problem that implementing a self-driving car.
