Ag Tech Sunday - Autonomy on the Farm

Roads aren’t the only place for autonomous vehicles - Honda is gearing up to supply small, off-road robotic work vehicles that may come in handy for farms, construction sites and even firefighting. The Japanese car maker, which is also a global giant in motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles, developed a prototype Autonomous Work Vehicle built off its ATV architecture.

The small vehicle, using AI, GPS and visual sensors, is designed to serve as a small self-driving wagon to carry supplies and materials into hard-to-reach locations, assist with harvesting or spraying of crops or carry gear and water needed by fire crews battling forest blazes.
