A zero-emission, self-driving electric ferry is coming to the Norwegian city of Trondheim. Launching next year, the ferry works like an elevator, with passengers on each side of the city’s canal able to press a button and summon the boat to pick them up.
The boat charges while it waits at the dock, can fit up to 12 passengers (including bicycles), and makes the crossing in just 60 seconds versus a 15-minute walk. In Trondheim, the autonomous, electric ferry ride will be a free service.
