The farmers I know tell me that their tractors and combines use autonomous guidance, including turning at the end of each row.

- bluGill 2y agoThey do - I build those for john Deere. basic high school geometry is all it takes once you have gps accurate to a few cm. been working for more than 10 years (though until reciently hard to settup) the important part to note as those systems don't have detection of anyone/thing that might be there. In a rural field no problem as nobody is there but on a city road there will be plenty of things to watch out for. We are working on the safety parts, I'm not in that area so I'm not sure what the current state is.
- analog31 2y agoYeah, the farmers tell me that they still have to be watching from the cab. Apparently deer can be caught off guard for some strange reason.
