Google and Rolls-Royce Join Forces to Create Self-Piloting Ships
Self-driving cars weren't even on the horizon a little more than a decade ago, but now it seems that every major automaker and the biggest firms in Silicon Valley are hot on the trail of driverless cars.
Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG), is widely considered the front-runner in autonomous driving. Waymo has compiled more than 3.5 million miles driven on the highways and byways of the U.S. The company embarked on an early rider program in early 2017, shuttling consumers around the Phoenix metro area to gauge public reaction to the technology. The company recently removed the backup drivers from the vehicles, making them truly autonomous.
Now, Google has partnered with Rolls-Royce (NASDAQOTH: RYCEY) to use its pioneering artificial intelligence (AI) to bring self-piloting capability to ships at sea.
