Monarch Tractor began supplying California farmers with driverless, electric tractors. Such machines bring work to a whole new level of environmental friendliness and comfort, writes Fox Business.
The autonomous tractor is equipped with a full set of sensors that allow it to navigate in space. It recognizes animals, people, as well as bushes and trees. This is a guarantee that the machine will not crush anyone and will not damage the crop.
The sensors also collect information about the condition of vegetables, fruits and soil. A remote operator who controls the operation of equipment can draw conclusions and forecasts about the prospects for the harvest based on them.
The developers believe that such a tractor not only improves the environment and facilitates the work of farmers. It is able to increase yields and reduce costs, which may be reflected in lower prices for the end buyer.
