The Autonomous Future of Ferries, with Future Marine

In 2024, Norway debuted the world's first autonomously piloted ferry in the Trondheim fjord. What will it take to bring this technology to Canada? More flexible and adaptive than traditional public transit systems such as rail or metro, public ferries are a promising way to adapt to fast-growing urban populations in coastal areas, particularly here in British Columbia. Vancouver's Sea Bus welcomes 14,0000 passengers each day! A ferry piloted autonomously offers even more exciting possibilities for the future of affordable and efficient marine public transit.  British Columbia-based Future Marine is aiming to deliver a prototype of North America's first autonomous ferry next year. Tune in to this COAST Talks: Podcast episode featuring Martin Stewart, founder of Future Marine, and learn what's in store for public, marine, and autonomous transit in British Columbia.
