According to UK’s Daily Telegraph, along with the continuous advances of driverless drones taking to the air and cars on the highways, it’s certain to happen. It’s only a matter of a few years before ocean-going vessels, including cruise ships, will be totally run by robots.

The ship’s theater entertainment will be on stage with robotic or virtual reality copies of Madonna, Sinatra, The Beatles and Michael Jackson.
