Now that is pretty interesting. I thought that was going to be about the gliders. Crossing the Atlantic with a trolling motor and no external guidance-whodathunk? -Slick. It even backs up at regular intervals to hopefully help clear drive & keel fouling.
It did make me think about coastal running and even offshore fishing where I can't remember ever being able to remain on a designated course for very long without having to dodge pot buoys/hi-flyers or flotsam & jetsam including maybe having to transit thick weed windrows.
Good luck , Scout!
Guidance would be a simple matter of a GPS connected to a small autopilot. My concern would be whether the trolling motor would last that long, particularly if it picked up some fishnet or whatever. Backing down won't usually clear that.
I guess it has some satellite telemetry to report it's position every so often..
