I'm sure the military is working on that, and I imagine it is a lot harder to interfere with a drone flying thousands of feet into the sky, than to interfere with a ship that you could get very close to.

I agree with you and forecast that big rigs and trains will eventually be automated as well. Energy companies are already using autonomous dump trucks in Canada.
