Chinese driverless mining trucks - GIF

[bambauer]

You'd think with all the cheap labor in China that these trucks will be mostly exported to other countries. I saw much larger Caterpillar versions of these roll by me in my rotary blast drill every day six years ago at a BC mine. A good operator can easily out perform these if a hot shift change is used. Also note the number of people controlling these thing. If they have the same benefits and pension plan as the drivers they replaced, it a zero-sum game.
