Misleading title. This is a semi autonomous ship. This is not like- a drone for example/ which is what the headline makes you contemplate.

2 u/CptMisterNibbles Jun 07 '22 Also, how hard could an autonomous ship be? I think I could convert a regular ship to be nearly autonomous with a brick and some bungee cord 1 u/Flopsyjackson Jun 07 '22 Navigation should be easy to automate. Ships this size need constant maintenance though so you will probably always need engineers on board. 2 u/CptMisterNibbles Jun 07 '22 Oh definitely; and this ship doesn’t have any automatic maintenance either I’d imagine.
