British soldiers have been using Xbox-style controllers to manoeuvre unmanned 4x4s in a world first trial with the US military.
The cutting-edge technology is designed at getting much needed supplies to the front line.
In a world first the UK's driverless truck lead an unmanned convoy of American trucks.
The tests took place in a week-long exercise in Michigan between the Ministry of Defence's Defence Science and Technology Laboratory and researchers from the US Army.
They also included using driverless trucks in convoy and hoverbike drones to carry out the ultimate aim of delivering supplies in the most dangerous “last mile” up to the battlefield.
