I think maybe we can and should focus on both. Better remote driving can be extended into other equipment operations as well - remote control of excavators and other construction equipment. Imagine road construction, or building projects, being able to be done remotely while we wait for better automation to develop.
- mulmen 1y agoThis is an interesting idea. What are the expected benefits? Off the top of my head: * Saves on commute or travel time. * Job sites no longer need to provide housing for workers. * Allows the vehicles to stay in operation continuously, currently they shut down for breaks. * With automation multiple vehicles could be operated at once. The biggest benefits seem to be in resource extraction but I believe the vehicles there are already highly automated. At least the haul trucks.
