I know this was not done today. But with present tech, driving that route with a radar/lidar mapping the surroundings. And going over that data with visualization and angles of the truck etc you could do it fairly easy.

Edit: (for a team of engineers and hauling-specialists)

Nah, these days they'll measure everything, load into ChatGPT and ask it to plan a route and it will do it in 10 minutes.

Too bad for these 3-5 houses needed to demolish to make room because the AI got it mostly right

"You're absolutely right to push back on that. When I said the load would fit through I didn't account for the corporeal nature of buildings along the way."

Yea using AI 2026 is pretty much taken for granted right? But a team of engineers and haul specialist would probably still oversee the details...

Guaranteed they used some type of environmental mapping technology to do that.

It wasn’t THAT long ago, this is basically what they did

It was done with LiDAR for the Endeavor. I know several of the folks involved with it. LiDAR and mobile mapping systems are not new by any stretch. The general public has only recently become more aware of them due to autonomous vehicle tech.
