Not a problem, unlike Musk, John Deere actually has a real working self-driving product.
- bluGill 3y agoNot really. Just like Tesla, you cannot use Deere' self driving system without someone there looking for safety issue. Musk's is clearly better at detecting and avoiding hazards - at least they try, while John Deere admits the system doesn't even try, it will just drive a line and if something is there kill it. The difference is John Deere's system is for use in a field where there is essentially never anything to hit/kill in the first place unlike roads where pedestrians and other cars could be in the way, so Tesla has a lot harder problem. Not speaking for Deere here.
- kube-system 3y agoMy comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek. I know Deere has a different and easier problem set to address. However, auto-steer and similar tech have been working well on tractors for a long time.
- bluGill 3y agoI just fear people who mostly don't know what is going on will read too much into the claim. while your claim is technically correct, it is very misleading to the average person.
- kube-system 3y agoI mean, I think the average person realizes a farm tractor on a farm doesn't have to deal with pedestrians, other cars, stop lights, etc.
