The watch officer apparently admitted that he fell asleep. I find it astonishing that such giant ships don’t have an autopilot that can at least stop the ship before it crashes into land. Or a dead man’s switch which would wake up the watch man or someone else.

Wild. I swear when I read this article it said the pilot was suspected of falling asleep. I must have read a different article. This one says:
The watch officer of a large container ship that ran aground and crashed into a garden in Norway has told police he was asleep at the time of the incident.
