last few years they've been using 'truck trains', large trucks with multiple trailers, on certain long, empty runs.
now, as thread title indicates, they're using AI trucks, on special AI only highways.

The autonomous fleet represents another win for safety in the mining industry. Removing operators from behind the wheel eliminates the risks associated with fatigue.
Critically, grade separation will ensure that there is no interaction between the road trains on the haul road and vehicles using public roads.
well if we can have separate rail roads no reason we can't have separate AI roads. I certainly don't want any AI vehicles on my roads.
Agree. Especially don't want to see them in tunnels. It can be a nightmare even for seasoned drivers like myself.
