Volvo said it is testing its fully autonomous truck about 4,000 feet underground in a mine in Northern Sweden.
The truck is part of a project to improve mine safety and transport flow and will cover a distance of about 4.3 miles, according to the Gothenburg, Sweden-based manufacturer.
The self-driving truck being used in the mine is a specially equipped Volvo FMX. The truck uses various sensors and it continuously monitors its surroundings to avoid fixed and moving obstacles.
