I wonder what a driverless vehicle does when it's GPS system says "turn right in 20 feet" and there's a corn field there?
A system is only as strong as it's weakest link!
My neighbor, who works on his family farm, you know, one of those multi-million dollar outfits, drives the tractors and combines (plows, seeds, and harvests) ... all by GPS.
He spends most of the winter months plotting the various fields they'll be working, loading the coordinates into their GPS, and then come spring, simply drive the tractors (or in the Fall) the combines to the fields, push the button, and they automatically drive themselves.... hand free!
Of course, those tractors cost near a million dollars each too!
