This is going to be the future of emergency rescue. So here we're seeing the dolphin one. This is going to be a brave new world where people are going to be drowning and these things are going to do such a better job because you can't drown one of these. One of the big problems is rescuers getting drowned by the person they're trying to do. When they're drowning, you panic and you just grab onto somebody.

So look at this. They're sending a little flotation device with motors in it and it zips super fast on the top of the water. You go find the person, there's the remote control, and the person just grabs onto it and gets taken in. Imagine this thing was just on the side of that oil rig. And if somebody splashed into the water, it just sensed them and it just sensed that they had fallen in, men overboard, boom, it goes and gets them.

Same thing for, you know, on a cruise ship. These things will be on the sides of cruise ships. There'll be cameras waiting for somebody to fall in. It will easily know the signature. And then boom, go do it.
