Claim 10:
11. A method for validating availability of a machine to perform a task at a worksite, the method comprising:
receiving a signal indicative of an autonomously-performed task to be performed by an autonomously-capable machine at a worksite;
identifying a machine for performing the autonomously-performed task based on a nexus between a nature of the autonomously-performed task and one or more work tools equipped to the machine;
generating a signal indicative of the machine;
communicating the signal to a mobile device;
causing a display, on the mobile device, an image representative of the autonomously-capable machine;
causing a display, on the mobile device, of a prompt for a person at the worksite to validate availability of the machine to perform the autonomously-performed task;
causing a display, on the mobile device, of a prompt for validating suitability of the one or more work tools equipped to the machine for the autonomously-performed task for the person at the worksite;
receiving a signal at a worksite controller that the autonomously-capable machine is able to perform the autonomously-performed task; and
generating a control signal causing the autonomously-capable machine to perform the autonomously-performed task.
