This unmanned lifeboat could rescue drowning people on its own

“A lot of the technologies employed offshore now are the same technologies that have been there for the last 40 or 50 years,” says Mayall.

Turning to artificial intelligence and smart tech to overhaul maritime safety, his company Zelim is working on a trio of life-saving technologies — including an autonomous, unmanned lifeboat called “Guardian.”

The Scottish startup, which Mayall founded in 2017 when he was just 22 years old, is now working with the US Coastguard and several offshore energy companies to perfect its tech, which Mayall hopes can make rescues quicker for the victims and safer for the rescuers.
