They're one step ahead of that - Rio Tinto has electric autonomous dump trucks already. No fatigue...

They also have autonomous trains monitored from Perth, some 1,500km from the train line.

That’s something that definitely p!$$es me off. A non stick fry pan that somehow manages to keep its retail label with a vengeance.

Great for taking out the trash, turning circles a bit wide though.#5,053 badgerbole, this is the one that I had in mind...a lovely full res image too
Instead of a single engine, the Siemens MMT 600 drive system is powered by two MTU 65-litre (4,000 cu in) 16-cylinder four stroke diesel engines, each with 2,300 horsepower (1,700 kW). These are coupled to two AC alternators and four AC traction motors (two in each axle.)[6] Fuel consumption (according to company data) is 198 g/kWh (55 g/MJ), with the option to run on only one if carrying less than capacity loads. Maximum claimed speed is 64 km/h (40 mph), and economy maximum speed (when fully loaded and on a 10% gradient) is 40 km/h (25 mph).

I suspect it's not going to be long before these come with an elevator so the driver can get in without having a heart attack.
No it wouldn't. If the two cars were parked too close together, one or both would just be flat when they come back out to retrieve them. You wouldn’t even notice the bump.
Actually that looks exceptionally well written to me. Good technical writing is quite difficult to master.
I recently learned these are not akin to a nicotine patch.
Just something else to stick to your ribs.
As kids in the '60s we were frequently told to eat something because it would either "stick to your ribs" or "put hair on your chest".
Neither of which seemed very appealing, especially to my sister.

Love those Cadillacs. I gather Cadillac will be entering F1 next year; I am hoping that their car will be pink, softly sprung, and have chrome-plated fins on its rear wing.
