1. A system for aligning a mining vehicle under a shovel, the vehicle comprising a transmission, a throttle, and a steering mechanism, the system comprising: a communication interface configured to direct an operator of the mining vehicle to perform one or more vehicle operation, including at least one of engaging a reversing gear of the transmission and reversing the mining vehicle; one or more distance sensor mounted to the mining vehicle and configured to measure, by using at least one of a laser sensor, a LIDAR sensor, a RADAR sensor, a SONAR sensor, and an ultrasonic sensor, a distance between the mining vehicle and the shovel and a location and orientation of the shovel relative to the mining vehicle; one or more steering sensor configured to determine a steering angle associated with the steering mechanism; and an electronic control module configured to: cause the mining vehicle to at least one of accelerate, decelerate, and adjust the steering angle; repeatedly receive the distance measured by the one or more distance sensor; repeatedly receive the steering angle from the one or more steering sensor; and adjust at least one of the throttle and the steering mechanism based, at least in part, on at least one of the distance measured by the one or more distance sensor and the steering angle.
