Yes, that a massive, self-driving mining dump truck, and it's just the first piece in the creation of totally automated mining sites:
We are one step closer to being able to strip-mine the Earth on autopilot, with mine sites like this that won't need anywhere near as many humans to operate as mines do today. And this is just the beginning of the sort of full-scale, next-generation automation technology that's in the works.
BTW, if you want to see another, smaller-scale example of the possible shape of future autonomous vehicles... Nissan's got you covered.
Welcome to the actual Singularity, already in progress. #nohype
