China launches self-driving patrol boats to rescue people from drowning
Robotic speedboats now ply the waters of a large lake in China, which has seen multiple deaths from drowning over the years.
The autonomous watercraft is equipped with GPS, cameras, and acoustic and infrared sensors.
It's aiding lifeguards at the Tian'e Lake in Hefei, eastern China, which receives tens of thousands of people each day during peak periods, according to park officials.
