Rio-Tinto Deploys Driverless Trucks

20 July 2012 Posted By anthonyp

Six months ago we posted that Rio Tinto was planning to introduce 150 centrally controlled driverless trucks by 2015. Yesterday they put out a press release (HT: ThomLandon) celebrating that they now have 10 trucks beginning to transport iron ore.

On a side note, in a departure from the term ‘driverless trucks’ they have dubbed the technology as an Autonomous Haulage System (AHS).
