Lego and Volvo's futuristic autonomous loader has a tiny drone friend

Enter the Zeux, an autonomous concept wheel loader dreamed up by design teams from Lego and Volvo. Lego has previously replicated a real wheel loader and wheeled excavator manufactured by Volvo. This bit of heavy equipment is unlike anything you can see at a real-life building site today, but it's also the digital prototype that will fuel the designs for future Volvo concepts.
How can you tell this is no ordinary digger? First of all there's no space for a human to sit. Oh, and it comes with a friendly drone scout. There's also a moving boom-mounted camera on the roof that acts as an "eye", suggesting that our future relationship with automated machinery won't be entirely cold and one-sided.
