Renault, for example, has highlighted this with a recent split in its autonomous vehicle strategy. It is deliberately not developing robotaxi-type vehicles and instead focusing on self-driving shuttles as the way ahead. As a result, its first shuttle began its operations at the Paris Open tennis competition in May where it ferried customers around Paris without the need for a safety driver onboard. This kind of utility has been at the core of USVs monitoring the world’s oceans, which need to store terabytes of data, and we examine the challenges of data storage on page 42. USVs also need good connectivity, and we look at the state-of-the-art in antenna systems on page 84 and in Platform One on page 6 (Gotonomi). The latest USV tech was on show at Oceanology International and our coverage is on page 60. UAVs monitoring oil pipelines and electricity lines from the air are also at the heart of utility. And, while we look at the latest developments from the Xponential exhibition on page 102, we also detail ScanEagle and how it has achieved over 1.2 million flight hours for all kinds of long-endurance monitoring applications on page 24.
