Big news to share today! Heidelberg Materials North America announced plans to deploy our AHS at their Lake Bridgeport quarry in Texas. 🚛 This follows a successful 2023 pilot conducted in partnership with Komatsu North America. This next phase will integrate Komatsu's Smart Quarry technologies to enhance data collection, safety and productivity. We couldn't be more excited about working with technology leaders such as Heidelberg and Komatsu to define the future of the industry. Check out our AHS in action on a Komatsu HD605-8 in Lake Bridgeport ⬇ https://lnkd.in/gH-YB_Mq #AutonomousVehicles #AutonomousTechnology #Mining #AV #AHS #OffRoad
About us
While most Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technology companies are stuck in R&D mode, Pronto is a world-leader in commercializing AV tech via our Autonomous Haulage System, which is automating haulage operations at mines and quarries around the world. Pronto’s team of Silicon Valley veterans has been at the forefront of every major AV development over the past 20 years, with a relentless focus on commercializing the technology, leading to our current specialization in off-road applications. This focus and our decades of experience have put Pronto on a track to become the world’s first profitable AV technology company.

We can't wait until we can share the details on the #mining operation where these three Pronto Bell B45E #Autonomous Haul Trucks are being sent to work. Until then, we're excited to start sharing the highlights of their journey, starting with this video of them departing our R&D facility in the Bay Area. 🚚⛴️🌎🌞

It was an exciting week here at Pronto as we announced to the world the work we've been doing with Heidelberg Materials and Komatsu North America. We couldn’t be prouder or more excited about the road ahead for us and off-road autonomy in general. Pronto has been focused on the mining and quarrying markets since 2021 because, unlike on-road environments, autonomous vehicle technology is mature enough to safely commercialize fully driverless in those settings. It’s an industry that generates over $1 trillion of revenue per year and automating haulage helps solve a critical challenge facing the global economy. As we move towards carbon-neutral forms of energy, massive incremental volumes of transition minerals need to be produced, at the same time the industry is facing an acute labor shortage that is projected to only get worse over the coming decades. In a world where everything is either grown or mined, Pronto’s Autonomous Haulage System is playing an essential role in ensuring everything that is mined will be extracted in a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and safe way. The future of mobility is autonomous and I’m thrilled to be working with the absolute best team in the business… thank you to Construction Equipment magazine for the great coverage this week!

Yes! 👏
Self-driving isn't just about taxis and Teslas — Pronto is putting it to use for the kinds of off-road vehicles used at construction sites. And their new deal with one of the world's biggest cement producers gives a sense of the scale they could soon operate in. Kirsten Korosec gets the exclusive look into what they're building next.

Today we invite you to experience autonomous driving in a unique environment – the rugged terrain of a quarry: At our Lake Bridgeport, Texas site we are expanding the trial of Pronto’s Autonomous Haulage System (AHS). Modern sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence work together seamlessly to autonomously operate our dump trucks. The key highlights in a nutshell: - Technology: AHS ensures precise movements, even under difficult conditions. - Efficiency: We can optimise plant capacity utilisation. - Safety: The system reduces risks for our team. - Sustainability: AHS helps us to become even more sustainable. Check out the video to see the Autonomous Haulage System in operation – a useful enhancement when it comes to navigating complex and dynamic environments!

#ICYMI Our CEO and Co-Founder, Anthony Levandowski, recently caught up with Pete Bigelow at Automotive News to discuss the 20th anniversary of the #DARPAGrandChallenge. Anthony submitted one of the competition's most creative and unique entries, a self-driving motorbike dubbed Ghostrider, which now resides in the Smithsonian Institution. Ghostrider was only the first, small step in Anthony's career as one of the leading pioneers of #autonomous technologies, leading to the founding of Pronto.
