Driverless excavators are entering paid service as Bedrock Robotics rolls out a retrofit system that automates existing machines, with installation reportedly taking about a day. The startup says it has raised a further $600 million to expand autonomous excavation on active construction sites, drawing attention to how quickly heavy-equipment automation is moving from trials to real jobsites.

Why now: The combination of driverless heavy machinery in commercial use and a large new funding round is striking to observers of construction and robotics.
