Study Notes

Self-Driving Vehicles in Agriculture

  • Follow-me technology: only the first vehicle in the line is manned, while others (tractors, trailers, harvesters) follow behind at the same speed.
  • Up to 20 soybean harvesters can be led by one supervised self-driven vehicle in South America.

Advantages of Self-Driving Vehicles

  • Allows for continuous field work around the clock, including at night.
  • Eliminates human failures, as sensors never sleep or get inattentive.
  • Reduces labor costs, despite being more expensive, by saving on labor expenditures.
