Pronto Automates Copper Mine: Ex-Tesla Engineer’s Startup

Three engineers in hard hats and safety vests stand in a dusty open-pit copper mine, looking at tablets. Autonomous trucks are in the background.

Mariana Minerals’s copper mine in Utah is set to be automated with the help of Pronto’s autonomous haulage trucks. This marks the first such deal since Pronto was acquired by Atoms Inc., led by Travis Kalanick.

The startup, founded by a former Tesla engineer, is implementing its technology at the Mariana Minerals site, aiming to increase efficiency and reduce operational costs.

The deployment of Pronto’s autonomous system represents a significant step forward in the application of autonomous technology in the mining industry.
