This is actually an important problem. Cargo ships turn out to be responsible for a surprisingly high percentage of global emissions, and much of it could be eliminated with good autopilots.
It's also a comparatively easy market to take. Shipping is a commodity, so if you develop technology that saves fuel and thus money and one shipping company uses it, they all have to.

I have often wondered if submerged tow lines would improve energy efficiency. Sort of like train tracks but for ships. Sadly I don't have the resources to research this, but hopefully someone does.

lol April Fools seems full of actual good ideas. Our government joked to accept taxes in BTC, Volkswagen joked to rename to Voltswagen.

I suspect the ability to propose an idea with complete immunity to it being called a bad idea is a good thing. There’s been some studies suggesting a similar thing regarding creativity

Bearing AI is tackling this problem - not autopilot but more of a human-in-the loop approach. They predict the optimal route and speed profile (for fuel efficiency) for ship captains to then make adjustments.https://bearing.ai/press-releases/bearing-launch-release …
