Also, ONE accident that MAY have been caused by the boat being on autopilot means nothing.

I'm sure the ratio of autopilot caused accidents versus not is about 1 to 1,000; Probably even 10,000 if we count boats and not aircraft.

Lastly, if we had wanted to constantly fiddle with running the boat every second, much like a car, we would have gotten one of those things called a SAILBOAT.
Probably even way less if you take into account accidents that were operator error...even though being on autopilot was involved...like many BUI cases.
