Milestone 1

Our project seeks to provide our customers with a product showcasing how our autonomous electric boat can provide speed and reliable operation in the harsh environment of the sea.

• General Motors - GM has invested $150 Million into Pure Watercraft to develop an electric boat.

• ARC - an ambitious startup in Los Angeles pushing the industry into the next generation of watercraft

• X Shore - a Swedish company working to create high-performance electric boats for a fossil-free tomorrow

• Dynautics - co-authors of a paper on Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships, this company is working towards the marine vehicle autonomy

Our customers need a autonomous electric boat, which takes the environment into concern and can run for long distances without interference. The boat will need to be able to collect data and offer a safety feature to allow for manual control.
