I’ll bite, how do you make a self-driving submarine? There’s no GPS under the ocean? I imagine you’d need some kind of sea floor SLAM which sounds… really hard

- blobbers 3y agoYou know, once you challenged me on this I thought about a bit more and it seems its actually probably pretty hard short of using sonar off the sea floor. If you use inertial sensors, you're in a moving fluid which really messes up your ability to dead set navigate. That said, it seems like it would be much easier for a computer to handle this than a person, especially if it had already mapped the area.
