…with the touch of a button. Infrastructure-free navigation, using LiDAR simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technology, allows the trucks to integrate into existing operations by mapping structural features, without laser reflectors, guide wires or magnets. The ability to deploy a single unit before expanding also helps provide a lower cost of entry and greater scalability for customers, according to Hyster.
