I think we're going to have to create a standard for AIS/VMS and make an accurate signal part of the Law of the Sea as a crime of universal jurisdiction.

It would have a dramatic effect on policing IUU fishing, and it's going to become quite necessary as vessel automation becomes more pervasive.

(Imagine a Tesla on autopilot, except its a 80,000-ton Panamax tanker on the high seas.)
