Robotrucks, equipped with autonomous driving technology, are improving operations at mining and farming locations. Developed by Pronto, these vehicles are becoming integral in quarries like Mark West Quarry in Northern California, where they autonomously transport materials essential for road construction. With mining being a hazardous occupation, Levandowski advocates for complete automation to reduce the dangers posed to human workers. The autonomous trucks largely prevent incidents, such as worker accidents involving heavy machinery, thereby enhancing safety and productivity at these sites.
All the material they make here is what goes in pavement and asphalt. We think all mining sites should be autonomous because they are in a dangerous environment.
The truck is backing up and it is pulling up to the hopper bin. You can see it's autonomous because the blue light is flashing.
