First self-driving cars, now Google AI is helping Rolls-Royce with autonomous ships

In a potentially important move for creating autonomous ships, Google is working with Rolls-Royce to improve the artificial intelligence in the engineering firm’s system for situational awareness around seagoing vessels. Under a new agreement between the two companies, Rolls-Royce will be using Google’s Cloud Machine Learning Engine for further training its AI-based object classification system for detecting, identifying and tracking the objects a vessel can encounter at sea.
