Note that the title is referring to ore extraction mines. At first I thought they meant a new military anti-vehicle mine. :O

I mean that's literally what I thought it was about... They went so green that they somehow developed and deployed mines that could detect whether the cargo was gas.

I always thought self driving cars were fucking dumb when you could probably build self driving tractors much easier.

It also have much more sense to automate trucks in mine or other industrial plant where there is no random traffic and everything can be controlled.
