Zeitgeist tracks private signals to determine where the company is heading and what it means competitively.
The company's public product roadmap & what they're committed to building.
Plug-and-play retrofit kit with LiDAR, RTK-GPS, cameras, and onboard compute for autonomous excavation.
Large-scale field rollouts including a 130-acre manufacturing site with Sundt.
First fully unmanned excavator deployments launching with development partners.
Cloud dashboard for remote supervision, telemetry, and multi-machine coordination.
Reversible one-day retrofit means contractors keep existing fleets and rental economics, a distribution wedge competitors requiring new OEM machines cannot match.
Older incumbent focused on retrofit autonomy but with narrower equipment coverage and less ML depth.
Remote supervised operation rather than full autonomy, different labor model.
Off-road autonomy skewed toward mining rather than construction general contractors.
