South African shipbuilder building autonomous boat

South African shipwright Legacy Marine is building an autonomous vessel for a client in Saudi Arabia as a proof-of-concept for search and rescue, City Press reports.

Dubbed the "Prowler", the unmanned surface vehicle (USV) uses artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced robotics to navigate, eliminating concerns over human error.
