Well presumably it’s registered and licensed in some country that inspects commercial vehicles for seaworthiness periodically. Having a water resistant mechanism that can control your rudders and buoyancy seems like a baseline for seaworthiness but that’s just my take.
I was watching a news item earlier and apparently on getting on you need to sign a paper that says it hasn’t been inspected or certified by any third party. It’s just DIY.
Looking at the corners they cut, they didn’t spend enough money on this. Why is there nothing to automatically locate them? Why aren’t they able to communicate with the outside?
Tbf, poor people do risky activities too. Rich people hire submarines, pay for tourist trips to space, and go climb everest, all of which have a fairly high risk of death. Poor people do street racing, do wheelies on dirt bikes, or go diving off cliffs.
It’s just some humans are super cavalier with their safety.
Fair point, it’s possible it doesn’t meet something like functional safety or redundancy. The article made it sound like it was a foregone conclusion that such a service wasn’t allowed. Which I find dubious.
