You can train for it, then how many years into your career you actually experience such a scenario are you likely to act instinctually and recover. The best solution would be to improve autopilot assist as it will never forget how to correct (if possible).
- sierrah 3y agoLol you're right, controlling a ship with human inputs is so hard that is was the inspiration for a Russian shipmaster to create PID control
- londons_explore 3y agoBut I believe no big ships use any kind of autopilot while near shore. they only use it in the middle of the ocean.
- SoftTalker 3y agoPart of the emergency reponse they are drilled with in simulators are "memory items" that are literally memorized responses to emergencies, i.e. "reverse engines, drop anchor" this is to prevent freezing or indecision. Of course I guess that can still happen but they are trained to the point where it should be automatic.
- verandaguy 3y agoIf it’s anything like airline pilot training, there’s periodic retraining and evaluation to make sure pilots have the right reactions in case of an emergency.
- MBCook 3y agoI wonder if they’re required to keep up training to the degree pilots are. It wouldn’t surprise me if they’re not.
- forgetfreeman 3y agoNope. The military, aerospace, and medical industries have all refused full automation in life-or-death situations with cause.
- ClumsyPilot 3y agoIsn’t that interesting when compared with ‘machines don’t make mistakes’ wisdom
- forgetfreeman 3y agoYou'd have to be either a complete headass fresh out of a coding bootcamp or carting around The Agenda That Ate Calcutta to fall for that line of bullshit. Anyone who's spent the wrong parts of their week debugging ought to intuitively grasp that machines are inherently error-prone.
- ClumsyPilot 3y agoYou are not wrong, but nobody gave the memo to the boss of my boss.
- aidos 3y agoI’ve done some sailing but have no real authority when it comes to vessels like these. Friends of mine are pilots on the Thames (London) and I seem to recall one of them telling me it was over 10 years training before you could bring a big boat in. Pretty fascinating really - they figure out all the tides and weather and plan the route. On the day they board along with a sensor system that sits in the bridge and gives the position to a high level of accuracy.
- balderdash 3y agoOr you just use the tried a true method of recurrent training and simulator work like in aviation
