Scania and Rio Tinto test autonomous truck
Published on Dec 19, 2018
Quote:
Truckmaker Scania and mining giant Rio Tinto are testing an autonomous truck in a Western Australian mine.
The first phase of the trial started in August 2018 and involves a Scania XT 8×4 autonomous tipper truck working separately from Dampier’s active operations.
During this initial stage, a safety driver rides in the vehicle to observe the truck’s performance and, if necessary, intervenes. In subsequent phases, additional autonomous Scania trucks will be added to develop vehicle-to-vehicle awareness and intelligent fleet supervisory controls.
