A ride in an autonomous Komatsu mine truck

[@MahdiBanners]

Unfortunately many job and careers will be replaced by robots within the next 10 years; this is one of them ! I was thinking to get a haul truck training or license but I've changed my mind after seeing this video.

[@paulerickson6270]

What ever you do. Don't pay for your training.

[@twillison8824]

Maybe 10 years for the big time mining operations. Why not get into it? I fucking love this job!

[@kurtisslomka]

You won’t regret it , 5 on 4 off , 4 on 5 off , $205k and work half the yr

[@rickfarmer8317]

This is the truck's we make at our Peoria IL. Plant.

I operate scraper an excavator how do I go about getting a job

[@mrfish9997]

They will never tell u

[@andrewrees8749]

What tonnage are those 980 trucks, must be next size up to the 930e or a replacement.

[@mzee5533]

Way bigger than 930s mann I think it’s 400tonnes

[@jonathancoombes1495]

Why do they have a cab if they're autonomous?

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

this is progress but still i prefer remotely operated haul trucks by worker from remotely controlled stations.

[@tulockthewerewolf9744]

Im pissed off, i was supposed to go for my certification for a hail truck driver but know seeing this im guessing i dont gave much of a future in this

[@ivan5180]

I doubt they will get rid of all the millions of $$$$ they spent on the other trucks

[@twillison8824]

@@ivan5180 I agree, it's going to be some time before anyone but the largest mining companies are investing in these.

[@UnknowableAbsolute]

Why all ultra class haul trucks have rear axle drive, i thought in mining operating environment all wheel drive will be more practical? Only belaz 75710 AWD, but this truck not so popular

[@jonasstahl9826]

The streets they drive need to be nice, dry and hard to reduce fuel-consumpten and tire-damage. On good streets is no need of AWD.

[@wiktormaciejewski6517]

Those trucks don't exactly do drifting mate...

[@JasonShipley1979]

Bet riding in one is exciting and cool, huh? Being autonomous what does it run on? Diesel? Electric or both?

[@EquipmentWorld]

We're riding inside an older model Komatsu 930 in this video. It has a GE electric engine.

[@JasonShipley1979]

EquipmentWorld how much does one cost to buy out of curiosity?

[@bretthaney4025]

What a waste of money 😂

[@snowfuca]

both. They are generating electricity via an ,,normal'' engine. That electricity is supplied to the electric engine which is turning the wheels.

I thought this truck was autonomous... why is there a guy in the driver seat ?

[@wiktormaciejewski6517]

In autonomus vehicles, the driver is there IN CASE of something going wrong.

[@kelly00000111111]

@@wiktormaciejewski6517 what? this defeats the purpose of the autonomy completely. the whole idea is to get the driver AWAY from the truck if something goes wrong.

[@wiktormaciejewski6517]

@@kelly00000111111 Apparently you know not what you're talking about.

[@philipwallstedt5685]

@@wiktormaciejewski6517 You are thinking Tesla, which is Driver Assist but not Autonomous. Autonomous Mining Trucks do not have anyone in the cab or anywhere on the truck, nor is somebody in an office with a joy stick telling it to turn.

[@hardbrocklife]

Non skilled labor will be completely gone in the next 100 years. You should learn a skill. For every 2 unskilled labor position that is eliminated, a skilled position is created. This truck means you have greater opportunity to learn large equipment repair, autonomous systems repair technician, etc... All position that offer significantly higher pay.

You may think your very clever for developing these things,i really hope one day you realise the damage that has been caused.So many truck drivers out of work,there are,nt any jobs for them to just walk into.Alot of them dont know anything else and if they had to train up for a job many wouldnt be able to because their not young and it,s too hard.When everyone has been replaced by an autonomous truck,digger,loader whatever,who,s going to feed them and their families?When they cant get a job and their families need to be fed what do you think they will do?They will turn to crime and there will be lots of them because there will be very few jobs that they can do and there will be that many people trying to get them and of course the companies will give them to someone young.The jobs im talking about are cleaners,messengers,picking up garbage etc.Dont you smart people realise that all your doing is making dirty greedy filthy rich companies even richer and the majority of society even poorer.

[@wiktormaciejewski6517]

Lmao, you can say this about literally any fkn progress we made in last 100/200 years. Stop fucking crying and go learn some fkn usefull skills.

@@wiktormaciejewski6517 Im not crying coz i dont drive dumpers,but alot of older people who do and would find it very hard to go learn something else are affected but you couldnt give a f=×# coz its not you so who cares.Whatever you do for a living must be non autonomous so your right eh?

[@wiktormaciejewski6517]

@@mickking5913 Again: It's a foken crime that wooden cariages drivers have been put out of work! Shame every company that uses trucks and cars instead of good ol' reliable carriages pulled by horses! SHAME!!! Im' not saying that changing your carrier is a fun situation, no matter your age, but bitching about technology taking your place is ludacrous, cringe, and pathetic. NOT TO FKN MENTION that it will be YEARS untill autonomus trucks will actually take over. Which makes bitching about it even more pathetic. They all have decades to shift their carriers.

@@kjohn5224 Not to mention, that it will be a long time before autonomus trucks will take over the industry. Mines have invested bilions in traditional haul trucks and they will be using them for a long time.
