I've installed an arduino based autopilot on my solar boat last year and it's been an interesting addition. It's not that smart despite having an internal gyroscope, GPS, compass but I do like it, it will maintain a course even if there is a weight shift or wind change that would normally sway the boat off course. One other great benefit is hands freed up to throw a hook and line. I also use it occasionally to follow me in my other boats such as when kayaking - makes a great pit stop when you want to get out. One interesting note around this technology especially with cars is stereo systems- I had to mount the autopilot as far away as possible from the speakers as the magnetic and the pumping of them would throw the autopilot off big time. Those who put multi- thousand watt systems in their cars or drive close to one of these "ghetto boxes on wheels" will render their autopilots into a circling nervous driver :-) I'm sure the technology will learn to overcome these issues but something to consider.
