Milestone in Garpenberg shows how autonomous trucks are already operating on a real scale in mining, with heavy transport, controlled routes, and specialized technical support, while expansion to open roads still depends on rules, infrastructure, and operational conditions different from closed industrial areas. Volvo Autonomous Solutions and the Swedish mining company Boliden completed, on June 4, 2026, an autonomous transport project in Garpenberg, Sweden, in which trucks carried about 700 thousand tons of rock material to reinforce a local dam and raise its wall. According to a statement released by Boliden, the operation totaled more than 11 thousand transport cycles and covered approximately 56 thousand kilometers, in an industrial application carried out within a controlled mining area, with defined routes and specialized technical support. Started in 2023, the project was part of the first stage of a memorandum of understanding signed between the two companies to test and implement autonomous solutions in operations related to mining, focusing on material transport within Boliden’s facilities. - Brazilian flying car gets a new chapter: Embraer targets 2028, Anac sees realistic timeline, and electric eVTOL approaches a turning point in air mobility - Scientists have people walk freely and discover something strange in human walking: in 32 out of 33 groups, participants began to turn counterclockwise as if following an invisible trend. - Samsung inaugurates a new era of refrigerators with a 664-liter model, just 0.4 cm spacing, and AI that promises to reduce energy consumption while automatically producing two types of ice. - China has an ambitious plan to invest $295 billion in artificial intelligence, but one detail of the strategy to dominate the sector could change the balance of the global technological race. In Garpenberg, the material came from a quarry located within the mining operation itself and was destined for a
