    The AI That Gives Boats a Second Set of Eyes | David Rose, CEO of LOOKOUT | CATALINA CREW YACHTCAST

    Imagine a backup camera for your boat — except instead of just showing you what's behind you, it's scanning everything around you, day or night, and telling you what to do about it. That's LOOKOUT. And in this episode of YachtCast, we sit down with David Rose — CEO and co-founder of LOOKOUT, former MIT Media Lab lecturer, and a five-time entrepreneur — to talk about how he's bringing the same sensor fusion tech behind self-driving cars to the open water. We get into how LOOKOUT's computer vision spots vessels, debris, buoys, even whales and people in the water before a human eye would catch them. How night vision and AI work together to remove the guesswork from running in the dark. Why the system overlays everything onto an augmented reality view instead of just another alarm you have to interpret. And what it actually took to build a safety system good enough that captains would trust their boat — and their crew — to it. If you've ever white-knuckled a night run, lost a prop to a deadhead, or just wished you had one more set of eyes on the water — this episode is for you. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly boat tours, captain interviews, and behind-the-scenes content from the water. 🌐 Learn more about LOOKOUT: https://www.getalookout.com/ ▶️ Watch more from LOOKOUT: https://www.youtube.com/@LOOKOUTCamera ⚓ IN THIS EPISODE: What LOOKOUT sees that radar and AIS can't How night vision, computer vision, and AR come together in one system David's path from MIT Media Lab to founding LOOKOUT The biggest causes of marine accidents — and how AI is closing that gap Where AI-assisted navigation is headed for boats of every size 🛥️ ABOUT LOOKOUT: LOOKOUT is an AI-powered marine vision system built to address the leading causes of boating accidents — operator inattention and poor visibility.
