Australia has the largest number of autonomous trucks and other mining equipment of any country.
Rio Tinto's Greater Nammuldi iron ore mine has one of the largest autonomous truck fleets in the world.
Autonomy isn't new to Rio’s Pilbara operations: introduction began in the late 2000s .
The technology has been to improve the physical safety of the workforce.
The narrative might be one of robots taking jobs, but that doesn’t seem the case here so far.
While the OC has about one controller for every 25 autonomous trucks according to Rio , no one has lost their job because of automation.
Instead, there have been redeployments: truck drivers have joined the OC as controllers themselves.
