    Yeah, she had a Reiki and then became a life coach. Or was that the horrible bit you were referring to?

    Isn't the reason that they don't need drivers including the ones that cross the country is that the drivers horizon is less than the margin required to stop the train? So even if the driver did see something way in the distance, they would be powerless to do anything?

    Iron ore from 16 mines is delivered to ports in Dampier and Cape Lambert, with the trains already having travelled over 4.5 kilometres autonomously since they were first deployed last year.

    O for Awesome

    @Machpants looks a giant mining blast. But a seriousl big one.

    The weird thing is it only has 11 views on youtube. Private drone footage perhaps?

    That and cost. Why pay drivers ~$240k for these types of outcomes?

    He's from Palmy. "Bogan dickhead" is just needless extra words.
