A crewless boat is recreating the Mayflower’s 400-year-old journey, with the help of artificial intelligence

To commemorate the anniversary, another vessel is recreating that voyage, with the help of artificial intelligence.

“We don’t know how it’s going to go. Is it going to make it across the Atlantic?” software engineer and emerging technology specialist Rosie Lickorish told CBS News’ Roxana Saberi. “Fingers crossed that it does have a successful first voyage.”

The vessel, docked in the harbor of Plymouth, England, will rely on the latest navigation technology when it sets out to sea — but it won’t be carrying a crew or captain.
