John Deere unveils more autonomous farm machines to address skill labor shortage

John Deere has revealed a new line of autonomous machines and tech across agriculture, construction and commercial landscaping.

Building on Deere’s autonomous technology first revealed at CES 2022, the company’s second generation autonomy kit combines advanced computer vision, AI, and cameras to help the machines navigate their environments. With the second-generation autonomy kit, featuring 16 individual cameras arranged in pods to enable a 360-degree view of the field, farmers can step away from the machine and focus their time on other important jobs. Featuring the latest autonomy kit with added Lidar sensors to address the dense canopies found in orchards, the initial machine will be offered with a diesel engine.
