Driverless Vehicle Technology Demonstrates Its Agility in the Construction Industry
The world of industry is currently witnessing the rise of a new generation of Autonomous construction equipment in the same fashion as the car industry.
You may have heard a lot about autonomous cars in recent years, this particular sector has grown significantly, especially after the homologation of limited self-driving vehicles on public roads. But something that we don’t hear a lot about is autonomous construction equipment. Granted, the sector is not as popular as cars, but it’s still equally important for the economy.
With the surge of large-scale construction investment, the development of construction vehicles is picking up speed simultaneously, and entering the autonomous driving era. Other than lowering emissions and boosting productivity that autonomous cars offer in general, autonomous heavy equipment will also have additional advantages, including the improvement of operational efficiency, safety, and communication.
One of the first examples of this is the Caterpillar Cat 794 AC Electric Drive Autonomous Mining Truck, the giant truck was revealed back in May when it conducted a series of precision tests. The truck passed the exam with flying colors, successfully avoiding various obstacles like flags, cars, and even tables full of dishes.
This amazing development comes at the best time for the construction industry, a sector that’s in the middle of unprecedented growth. The reliance on such new equipment will further push forward its development, allowing us to discover more impressive inventions in the near future.
