While most people have been keeping an eye on the development of self-driving cars -- companies have also been developing self-driving boats.
Not surprisingly, these companies have been able to create “ro-boats” -- instead of robots...get it? -- that are able to ship products across the ocean without a human captain at the wheel.
Autonomous ro-boats will be able to avoid collisions and find more efficient routes to their destinations...when this eventually becomes available for regular folks, would you want a boat that drives itself?
