    The use of the steam engine

    1. Revolutionized transportation and industry
    2. Early designs were inefficient
      1. James Watt’s improvements
    3. Powered the first locomotives
      1. Used in steamships
      2. Foundation for modern engines

    1*Autonomous ships can operate without human crews.**
    These vessels use AI, sensors, and satellite data to navigate safely and efficiently.
    1. The world’s first fully autonomous commercial ship launched in 2021.
      The Yara Birkeland, from Norway, was designed to reduce emissions and operate without a crew.
    2. Autonomous navigation reduces human error — a major cause of maritime accidents.
      Around 75–90% of marine accidents are linked to human mistakes.
