John Deere's fully autonomous tractor: was revealed at CES 2022 and combines Deere's 8R tractor, TruSet-enabled chisel plow, GPS guidance system, and new advanced technologies It can operate without a driver in the cab or in the field, and can detect and avoid obstacles using six pairs of stereo cameras and a deep neural network. It can also be monitored and controlled remotely using John Deere Operations Center Mobile.
Self-driving tractors could help save farmers money and automate work that is threatened by an ongoing agricultural labor shortage. - Wired
The fully autonomous 8R relies on neural network algorithms to make sense of the information streaming into its cameras. Deere has been collecting and annotating the data needed to train these algorithms for several years, Hindman says.A similar AI approach is being used by companies building self-driving cars. Tesla, for example, gathers data via its cars that is used to hone its Autopilot self-driving system. - * John Deere's Self-Driving Tractor Stirs Debate on AI in Farming | Will Knight ... The automation, and control of the resulting data, raises questions about the role of human farmers.

Monarch Tractor
- Monarch Tractor ... 100% Electric | Driver Optional | Data-Driven
This tractor is an electric, driver-optional, smart machine that can perform various tasks such as plowing, harvesting, spraying, and more. It can also collect and analyze data about the soil, crops, weather, and pests using sensors and cameras. It can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 77% compared to diesel tractors.
Naïo Technologies' Dino Robot
This robot is a self-driving weeding machine that can work autonomously in vegetable fields. It uses cameras, lidars, GPS, and AI to recognize crops and weeds, and can apply mechanical or electrical weeding methods⁴. It can also adapt to different crops and terrains, and can be controlled via a web platform.
