I’ve exceeded my quota of free Loose Cannon articles, but from the headline it sounds like the human was at fault, not the computer?

Ok, Loose Cannon is only about $1 for good independent journalism about boating with an emphasis on recreational boating. Swanson has a long history of being in the marine journalism world. And he'll walk your dog if you get to Green Cove Springs, FL.

The drone is semi-autonomous operated by NOAA, it is one of many they deploy. It is fairly small and with a very low freeboard. A human is supposed to check on it every 20 minutes.

There are local media reports on WTOL, but I couldn't find them in a quick search.

I find technology objectionable when it transforms the user into a carnival rider.

Depends. Some people like going to the carnival. Some people like having the option to go there sometimes but also be more interactive at other times. Who am I to tell them they shouldn’t be able to, or that technology shouldn’t exist to let them?
