+#### Abstract
+
+We are witnessing the rise of autonomous cars,
+which will likely revolutionize the way we travel.
+Arguably, the maritime domain lags behind, as ships operate on many more degrees of freedom
+(thus, a much larger search space):
+there is less physical infrastructure, and rules are less consistent and constraining than what is found on roads.
+The problem is further complicated by the inevitable co-existence of autonomous and human-operated ships:
+the latter may take unpredictable decisions, which require adjustments on the autonomous ones.
+Finally, the problem is inherently decentralised, there is no central authority,
+and communication means can be very diverse in terms of communication distance and performance,
+mandating special care on which information is shared and how.
+In this work,
+we elaborate on the challenges of trajectory prediction and adaptation for mixed autonomous and human-operated ships,
+and we propose initial ideas on potential approaches to address them.
