Comment on Is there an implemented system of automated trucks anywhere that is fully operational?

Yes. Several mines in Australia have them.

Fun fact. When they were trialing the systems the tires on the automated trucks were wearing down faster and deeper ruts were appearing on the roads.
Turns out they didn’t have any deviation logic so the trucks were following the same path as the GPS track instead of offsetting the driving like a human would do.

This is interesting, can you expand on that?

  I think they’re saying the trucks drove the same path over and over again perfectly, fucking with the road and tires.
