Wait, are drone oil tankers a thing now?

The Houthis launched an uncrewed surface vessel attacking MT Chios Lion, a Liberian-flagged, Marshall Islands-owned, Greek-operated crude oil tanker, according to a statement put out by the United States Military's Central Command on Tuesday.

No, the attack vessel was the drone

Not that I'm aware of. The uncrewed surface vessel in this case was one of the attacking vessels.
