It allows a boat to recognize and assess on-the-water situations in real-time and without human intervention through deep learning and sensor fusion algorithms . As this data is processed , NAS creates and maintains an optimal route for safe autonomous navigation , allowing boaters to enjoy their time on the water without the stress of vessel operation . If desired , the system allows users to experience the autonomous navigation process through its Augmented Reality ( AR ) screen , which indicates risk level using different color informational boxes . For convenience , boaters can also control navigation from anywhere on board the boat with a mobile device .
