☆ One of the biggest autonomous transportation tests is operating deep underwater
  + stars: | 2023-03-05 | by ( Barbara Collins | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Boeing's lineup of unmanned, undersea vehicles (UUV) can operate autonomously for months at a time on a hybrid rechargeable propulsion power system. More than 80% of the ocean remains unexplored by humans but could soon be mapped by autonomous underwater robots. Autonomous robot submarines — also referred to as autonomous underwater vehicles, or AUVs — are able to explore high-pressure areas of the ocean floor that are unreachable by humans through preprogrammed missions, allowing them to function without humans aboard, or controlling them. Navies worldwide are investing in unmanned underwater vehicles to elevate their fleet of below-water defense tools. The U.K.'s Ministry of Defence also announced in August the donation of six autonomous underwater drones to Ukraine to aid in their fight against Russia by locating and identifying Russian mines.

Luckey sold Oculus, a virtual-reality startup, to Facebook in 2014 for $2 billion. Luckey was fired from Facebook in 2016, which he said happened because of his political donations to an "unpopular" cause. He said the amount of money Zuckerberg is putting behind the project alone means there's a chance Horizon Worlds will get better and the metaverse will be a success.
