Shouldn't Your Boat Be Able to Explain Itself?

Modern boats know their engine temperature, fuel burn, battery state, location, heading, wind, AIS targets, and hundreds of other data points.

So why is the captain still the one doing all the translating?

Your boat knows:

✅ Engine temperature

✅ Fuel rate

✅ Battery health

✅ GPS position

✅ Wind

✅ AIS targets

✅ Tank levels

✅ Hundreds of other data points

Yet when something goes wrong, the captain still has to be the computer.

Why?
