Forget autonomous cars, self-driving e-boats will sail on Amsterdam canals - The Economic Times

#artificialintelligence

AMSTERDAM: Electric cars, meet your competition. Electric boats are on the way. Amsterdam didn't have to look very far when searching for a way to ease traffic on its congested streets. The Dutch capital's canals were used for transport long before cars and trucks powered by polluting internal combustion engines began clogging its narrow roads. Already steeped in maritime history, the city's more than 100 kilometres (60 miles) of waterways are to start hosting prototypes of futuristic boats - small, fully-autonomous electric vessels - to carry out tasks including transporting passengers and picking up garbage.
