1. Should be marked (2015).
2. The title is poorly editorialized. This mine only has ordered autonomous Komatsu trucks (just like BHP and Fortescue got autonomous Caterpillar trucks way back when [1]). This doesn't make the mine fully autonomous. It has a potential to become fully autonomous when every vehicle becomes autonomous, but when this press release was issued at best it was an aspiration.
