Which luxury auto maker is challenging the freight industry?

Answer: Rolls-Royce

Rolls-Royce is designing unmanned cargo ships to challenge the $375 billion freight industry. The new ships would be safer and cheaper, and they would pollute less than existing manned ships, according to the company. Unmanned ships are illegal today, but as drones become more advanced, regulatory agencies are showing a willingness to loosen such regulations.
