1. A method comprising:
accessing a pile plan map indicating a plurality of locations in a geographic area at which piles are to be installed by an autonomous off road vehicle (“AOV”);
identifying a first set of locations from the plurality of locations and a first set of piles to be driven into the ground at the first set of locations using the pile plan map;
generating basket assembly instructions for assembling the first set of piles into a basket; and
loading an assembled basket onto a chassis of the AOV protruding outward and away from a body of the AOV.
