There are loads of 'obvious' next steps for farm equipment. For example, current equipment is driver optional... But future equipment won't even have a drivers seat or cab. That frees up the design a lot. Current equipment is small numbers of large machines to optimize a the use of a drivers time. But with no driver, it becomes a simple matter of acres per day per dollar. Suddenly swarms of tiny machines start to make sense if those machines can be made in a factory like starbucks cups. Current machines use very expensive electronics. But nothing the machine does needs expensive electronics. It's the algorithms/IP that are the true value, and the electronics could be $50 of rasbperry pi.
