southern MN | I think it is really easy to do 95% of the driving autonomously.
It’s that last 5%……. Which is the important part.
About the same with an autonomous tractors, as I watch the YouTube videos. 95% of tractor driving is mundane repetitive simple. It’s that 5%, and that’s difficult to handle. It is anticipating problems, it’s seeing something unexpected, dealing with a problem. With a tractor you are in a closed course - a field - and so they can give it a go pretty soon. If it mucks up oh well you only hurt your own machine or property. If it gets confused it can just shut down and wait,
Out in public, that’s a different thing, getting a car to drive through the obsticals of others becomes a tougher issue, legally and ethically. If a car gets confused on the interstate or in rush hour, just shutting down would cascade into a horrible situation?
