Are driverless vehicles just around the corner for the oil sands?

It seems like something out of the future – the distant future. But the idea of driverless trucks on the move in northern Alberta may not be that far fetched.

Pete Arrigoni, Kenworth Trucks

Pete Arrigoni with Kenworth Trucks who was part of a panel discussion at the Oil & Gas Awards Industry Summit in Calgary says while such an idea is plausible it may not be feasible for quite some time.  Arrigoni touched on that and other safety features being considered for some of the vehicles used in oil sands operations.

He spoke to iKan Media after his panel discussion was done.
