AUDIO: Autonomous drone boat in the Potomac surprised DC fire boats, who alert the Pentagon.

Turns out a government contract was testing a drone boat in the Potomac. DC Fire and Coast Guard were not in the loop and a bit surprised when they went out for a vessel adrift call.

Maybe that Government contractor could deploy their unmanned craft on the Rio Grande if it elicits that much response from other authorities.
