I`m related to the charter business, and I can say that it is interested in the possibility of remote control of the vessel. I wonder if Boat Pilot can offer this feature?

I think such a function is possible with the advent of BoaGod. It allows a navigation program installed on a tablet computer to connect to onboard networks, thereby providing the ability to analyze information and receive/send data to the onboard network. Additionally, BoatGod users will be able to control onboard devices such as the vessel's autopilot, engine, onboard lighting, and media system. With BoatGod skippers will be able to monitor the status of all the vessel's systems and manage them.

Sounds pretty much like a yacht remote control system. As for charter companies, I imagine it is possible for charter companies to code their vessels to return to base on its own. It will be really convenient for users, but seems dangerous in case of communication problems.

I don`t think it is very dangerous. In any case, the onboard should be a skipper, who in case of problems with communication, will take control in his hands.

Of course! I think on the ship in any case should be a team. It is too early to talk about the fully autonomous control of the vessel, without the participation of the skipper.
