Good Summary of the report on the sinking of Manawanui. I have not seen much coverage on this thought some people here might be interested.

The presenters pronunciation of Maori words needs some work, but he does try. ๐Ÿ˜Š

It also doesn't say anything good about the helm and autopilot system that nobody noticed it was off.

In virtually any other similar system, human input will override the system. That's how it works in vehicles, that's how it works in aircraft, I'd have expected there to at least be an alarm that the autopilot was engaged.
