The Finnish ferry that sails itself

Sensors and cameras help this ferry in Finland navigate independently and allowing it to dock itself.

In an emergency it can be controlled by humans offshore using satellite and internet communications.

Rolls-Royce, who have developed the technology, believe it could eventually lead to ships not needing staff.

But would you want to travel on a ship without a captain or crew?

Too bad the Norwegians didn't have this technology on that frigate they just lost...   ;)
