No robotic puppies spotted.
That is amazing.
"not the first autonomous ship -- an autonomous ferry launched in Finland in 2018 -- but it is the first fully electric container ship"
I'm guessing it will be assigned to a repetitive milk run, like the ferry route. I'm reading that autonomous semi trucks here in the US are likely to beat cars to widespread real-world use because there are many currently simple-ish, long-distance freight shuttles.

i wonder how they cope with storms? I am guessing that the weather will be a major factor in choosing a milk run.
