I saw a video similar to this one a few months ago. The auto driving tractors were supposed to be cheaper to build and maintain than conventional tractors since there are no cabs and operator comfort features to buy and maintain. It's also getting harder to find competent operators now days. I found how the tractor stopped for obstacles interesting. I drove by a freshly disced field yesterday and one end of a center pivot looked like it had been hooked and dragged several feet. That's the type of help we see around here now days.
I work part time at a trucking company. They are looking a number of years down the road at self driving transport trucks. It may seem like science fiction but I was looking at some old Popular Mechanics magazines that I kept from the 70's and 80's. I remember thinking then that the predictions they were making were far fetched. Not only have they come true, they have far surpassed what they predicted. Automation doesn't eliminate the need for human's, it simply rearranges where that help is needed.
we may never live long enough to see these innovations in common practice but I imagine our grandchildren will see them as ho-hum ordinary.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
