Hi, I've previously been to a company that makes the hardware for autonomous mining vehicles. They rely mainly on DGPS systems for positioning and a combination of simple camera vision and radar for obstacle detection. Keep in mind they don't drive that fast (around 25 mph), are supposed to be in clear unobstructed (unless they're in a queue to load or unload) and just stop when they detect a vehicle or a person.
