The fully automated ship, designed as a new robotic incarnation of the famous 17th-century ship Mayflower, has sailed across the Atlantic with the aim of reaching Virginia, USA. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the pilot of the new Mayflower, which came out of Plymouth, UK on Wednesday. The AI will make decisions when it encounters any obstacle regarding the direction of the ship.

- The ship is expected to complete the journey in three weeks.
- In June last year, an attempt to send this ship to America failed due to technical problems.
- Cost $13 million, built on the lines of the 17th century ship Mayflower.
Marine research
- If this voyage is successful, the Mayflower will travel around the world for marine research.
- This automated vessel will collect vital data such as whale populations and the presence of plastic particles in the oceans through microphones and water samples.
