At the Yimin coal mine in China's far north-east, around 100 driverless lorries each capable of carrying 90 tonnes of coal operate without human drivers, with large battery boxes where driver's cabins would be. [^3]

Huawei's enterprise division, announced in 2021, created 'army corps' (juntuan) teams to apply Huawei's technology to specific enterprise customers, from airport operators to oil-and-gas companies. [^4]

On August 31st, Huawei said its net profits fell by 37% year on year in the first half of 2026, even as revenue grew by 10%. [^5]

Zhao Yaozhong, a manager at Huaneng, the state-owned power utility that operates Yimin, said the deployment of driverless lorries led to 120 workers being reassigned to posts outside the pit, removing them from dust and danger. [^6]

DeepSeek is a Chinese artificial intelligence startup. [^7]
