--- While many manufacturers are testing self-driving trucks on the surface, Volvo is taking its trials a little deeper... According to the Swedish truck maker, it is putting its autonomous vehicle to work underground to test how the truck handles the difficult conditions... The featured truck is a concept Volvo FMX updated to include a number of sensors that continuously monitor fixed and moving obstacles in its surroundings... The FMX is also equipped with an on-board transport system that gathers information to optimise its route and fuel consumption... Promising safety and improved transport movements through the worksite, the truck is travelling a 7km route through the Boliden Group’s Kristineberg Mine as part of real-life operations...
