(ASI), a Utah-based company that automates work vehicles, and formed a joint venture to build self-driving machines for large road, rail, and airport construction projects. Financial terms and ownership stakes of the joint venture were not disclosed. ASI's core product, Mobius, is fleet-management software that works across equipment from any major manufacturer, letting builders automate mixed fleets of haul trucks, dozers, loaders, and compactors. Founded in 2000 out of Utah State University research, ASI operates an 80-hectare test site in Mendon, Utah, plus offices in Salt Lake City, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Longmont, Colorado. This follows SoftBank's earlier $200 million investment in Gravis Robotics, a Swiss startup that adds self-driving software to excavators. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
