Now make "self driving container ship".
Would that scale them down? The crew cost/cargo value would go to zero. So you could optimize for singe size of ship that is mass produced.
- claudius 11y agoThe relevant cost for container ships are fuel, not people. Self-driving container ships don’t run on less fuel and considering the massive size of these ships. For example, Maersk’s Triple-E class ships are manned by 22 people (according to the German Wikipedia at https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple-E-Klasse https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple-E-Klasse).
