They had one at big iron this year but it didn't work because of a software problem. I could just headlines after they have a computer or software problem and the drone tractor drives through a town wiping out houses on the way. Good idea but too many things to go wrong if you ask me.
A "stay-within" area is very easy to do with GPS once mapped, and if the GPS quits working, it would need to shut down anyway. It definitely needs several systems to shut itself down if there's any kind of problems.
I think implement problems and field obstacles are more of a concern than the tractor leaving the field.
