Rolls-Royce has teamed with Intel to develop its plan of introducing fully autonomous cargo vessels, with Intel's chipsets powering the artificial intelligence shipping system.

Vessels fitted with Intel Xeon Scalable processor-based servers will effectively be turned into floating data centers, according to statement by Intel.

Rolls-Royce’s intelligent awareness system uses AI-powered sensor fusion and decision-making by processing data from lidar, radar, thermal cameras, HD cameras, satellite data and weather forecasts.
