But then, remember when GPS was going to solve everything?

That's still the plan. Just wait until driverless cars take over the roadways. GPS and radar will keep everybody safe and happy, just like they did for the USS Fitzgerald.

Right?

Some bridge-watch on commercial vessels have a bad habit of off-setting the radar display to position their vessel at the bottom of the image. Nothing behind; and, a limited view to the side is all they can observe. If they don’t make the effort to take a look all around before maneuvering, they would never realize you were there.
