My understanding is that it uses tracking and firing technology from fighter jets. Once you mark the target it shoots when the gun is correctly positioned on target. Thats not marksmanship, and it would be no fun at all after the first couple shots.
Oooh, fighter jet technology! Isn't that sexy. Yeah, I heard that as well. Notice that they don't say what the fighter jet technology is? I have a radar detector in my car that has fighter jet technology, LOL.

I still haven't seen any videos where the dot on the screen actually tracks moving targets. Instead, the "tracking system" appears to lase a spot and keeps track of where the spot is relative to the scope, but if the object spotted actually moves, the spot does not.

In looking at the video here, it looks like the unit definitely does NOT take motion into account. At about 38 seconds, a 'target' is identified that looks like a hog and the shooter 'tags' the target with the red dot, squeezes and holds the trigger until the crosshairs cross the tag again for the rifle to fire. The only problem is that the tag was put on the shoulder of the hog and the hog moved and the tag mark covered the side of the belly forward of the rear leg. So the tag not only does not track the target that is tagged (but apparently tags a digital location in the FOV of the scope itself), but will not follow the moving target. So if the bullet is going to the tagged point which is what is explained, then the good shoulder shot turns out to be a gut shot on the hog.

Here are more hunting examples. Note that all the targets are stationary

The point here illustrates that it really does track a point and does NOT track a target. Fighter jets track targets, at least what I know of their combat systems (versus bombing systems).
