These huge haul trucks are impressive! Personally I think autonomous driving will revolute this heavy trucks industry first, since there are less scenarios needed to be considered than traditional passenger vehicle. Suncor definitely to adapt its operations to be compatible with AHS, for example, it probably needs to upgrade the oil field in a more machine friendly way (such add machine recognized sign). It probably also needs to have a central control center that can control remotely every haul trucks in the field.

These truck drivers will probably lose their jobs in the future and it is not only problems in the oil industry. It is basically in every industry. Therefore, in the long-term, our fundamental society probably needs to be changed.

In the long term, technology in AHS will be competitive advantage in this industry. Suncor probably needs to collaborate with a AI company or develop the technology expertise by itself to main the competitive advantage.
