#3 I have the app called BoatWatch which allows you to view (and somewhat track) ships on a map. Below is what it shows for Long Beach. Pretty Crowded.

By clicking on a ship it will show the details. At least one shows an ETA of October 5th (I presume that is the date it arrived). Others have more recent times.

Long haul trucking will be the first application of driverless AI to be put into widespread use.
