Drones take to the waves: #Saildrones are #sailboat-like uncrewed surface vehicles (#USV) that travel oceans on wind and solar. Remote pilots who work for #Saildrone guide a saildrone via satellite commands, which provide a designated path, to get to a target waypoint. Drone's software autonomously adjusts wing to keep it on track (pilots cannot take direct control of it). Using only wind and ocean currents, saildrones cruise on average at about 3 knots, or about 3.5 mph.
