They're here! Some trucks in WA mines have no driver on-board. There are
drivers, but they're thousands of kilometres away, working in
air-conditioned safety. The trucks mostly drive themselves. Experience
is that the robots are much more precise in vehicle placement. That
actually causes problems because wear tends to be more concentrated.
The trucks use radar, lidar and sonar, in addition to computer vision.
Their situational perception is better than any human. Situational
awareness (if a computer can truly be said to be aware) is a
work-in-progress.
Based on memory of hearsay. All care, no responsibility. ;)
