A Word From Your Safety Committee: Kristina DeFilippo, Safety & Security Manager at
SEACOR Island Lines
I recently took a trip to Texas to witness a demonstration of a driverless, remote-controlled vehicle. The only thing I can equate it to would be as if a video game came to life. Picture about ten people huddled around a screen, watching an employee operate a vehicle out on the company’s proving ground, but from the comfort of his own desk. It’s one of those things you need to see to believe, and even then, it still does not seem like reality.
