I believe they just make engines and other machinery. There's a difference between a company that makes a steering wheel and a company that employes a fleet of drivers to drive it's fleet of trucks.
- roel_v 12y agoLet me get this straight, you're saying that f'n Rolls Royce doesn't have the engineering chops to assess the viability of future tech developments? Additionally, you're saying that f'n ROLLS ROYCE builds the equivalent of 'steering wheels' in machinery?

- vidarh 12y ago"Just make engines" seems a little bit dismissive. Their marine division consists of a range of acquisitions which have spent the last 150+ years building pretty much every type of mechanic and electrical component on some of the most advanced ships of their time, as well as complete ship designs. They may not employ a fleet of ship crew, but given that they keep winning large contracts, presumably companies that do have fleets of ships trust that they know how to handle ship-design and automation.
