Navigating is not an easy task, even with GPS. The vessel will need to be able to avoid storms, other ships, and plot a course to its destination that will optimize transit time while avoiding all dangers.
There's no reason this couldn't be done remotely though... The other issues around repair and damage control would be a bit harder to solve though.
