@interestingengineering: China has put its first 100-tonne-class mining dump truck that is fully electric, fully autonomous and able to drive in both directions into service at the Nanlutian open-pit coal mine in Holingol, Inner Mongolia. Called the AT150, it carries a rated payload of 136 tonnes and uses all-wheel steering with no fixed front or rear, so it never has to turn around on a narrow pit face. The mine reports energy costs per unit of output running 65 percent below a diesel truck of the same size. #AT150 #MiningTruck #DriverlessTruck #AutonomousMining #ElectricTruck
I just spent 3 weeks in China. They are easily 50 years ahead of us. We are so screwed. We are too busy being ignorant and racist, while China is living in the future.

It's only carrying 130 tons? That's because the BATTERIES weigh so much and take away from the load capacity. The tires determine how much weight a haul truck can carry. A diesel the same size can carry 3 times that much

i read of a mining truck that charged its batteries by the axles driving a geni, going downhill,the load pushing it,giving it enough oomph to get back up the hill by battery

And if it encounters something it doesn’t know how to deal with it will just stop and have no way of manual control

The swappable battery is the wave of the future for EV. You pull up to a station swap the battery and move on, the station then begins the charging process for thr next car. I'm pretty sure some models in China do this already.
