I have a question about competition. I had a friend who was in mining about a decade ago. He told me that their mines were fully autonomous back then -- that the equipment managed itself and sent back sensor data.

Is that different than what you are doing now?

Mining has had autonomous haulage (and to some extent excavation) for some years. They have been very tightly coupled to the individual machines, models and the quarry site.

Construction excavation workflows tend to be different and more varied (hence you would see more variations in the machines/attachments available for this industry). And so far there's no solution which just works or is plug and play. This is an attempt to solve that.

And we believe this is great time to do so due to market demands too. No way Gen Z is going to do these jobs when you can make money being delivery partner/influencer, etc. The high-certified, high-skilled workforce is going to shockingly shrink in some years.
