quote [ In June, 37,000-tonne tanker vanished from GPS off the Russian coast. All the evidence points to Russia. But what's really going on?
Instead of displaying Atria's actual position, the ship's systems located it 25 to 30 miles away – at Gelendzhik airport. GPS disruptions aren't uncommon, Le Meur says, but most of the time when problems happen they're limited to a few hundred metres. ]

And I believe rudders are crucial to navigation. What does that have to do with autonomous transportation?

You also need an engine and wheels. Those things are required for autonomous driving to function, but can exist separately outside of it. Same with GPS. You might as well bring up self-driving cars anytime someone mentions windshields, gas prices, or seatbelts.

I guess if a bad actor could render the concept of wheels unreliable, you might have a point.
