In prior cruises in the Atlantic, the firm has, according to Josh Broussard, its technical director, managed to scan 890 square kilometres a day using six autonomous submarines. With eight, Mr Broussard thinks that the new mission will be able to manage 1,200 a day—enough to have covered the original search area in just 100 days. Seems up to the job, and while 8 may not be a swarm of bees, I think for deep sea subs i…
Surely it should be a school?
I wonder what other interesting things they'll discover doing the search. Surly they've already stumbled upon lots shipwrecks in the search for MH370?

It astounds me that they wouldn't already have used the best equipment on the market? I mean, it's the most prominent underwater search of recent decades, funded by three sovereign states. My gut feeling is that some people in power do not want this plane found.
Do not underestimate the power of thousands of meters of water.
This is what a HUGIN submarine drone looks like (from the manufacturer's site): https://www.km.kongsberg.com/ks/web/nokbg0240.nsf/AllWeb/B3F...
> When you purchase a HUGIN AUV you join the our family. That's an interesting point of view. I guess it's common with really expensive things?

I did too, until I looked out the window on my first daytime flight over the sea. A seemingly endless stretch of unbroken blue. It was probably the next best thing to being in space and made me appreciate just how much water there is!
And that's just the surface.

Not necessarily...InstantPot told me that when I bought their ~$100 device

In the first world, it's also common with motorcycles, which are one of the most inexpensive forms of private powered transportation. The shared traits among motorcycles and an AUV include a more adventurous risk profile, affinity for mechanical devices, and less ubiquitous uptake than alternative forms of transportation.
