Pronto has developed a self-driving system designed for haulage trucks and other off-road vehicles that are used at construction and mining sites.
About a dozen companies are now using its so-called “autonomous haulage system” or AHS .
A newly announced partnership illustrates Pronto ’s traction in the niche market.
He added the funding wasn’t through a traditional VC series round. “I don’t think it’s like the next frontier,” Levandowski said of off-road autonomy. “It’s almost like the skipped-over frontier that we really should have checked off along the way to on-road autonomy.”.
