Autonomous Farm Vehicles

The book's approach is to unpack both the technologies and their real-world impacts, using a combination of academic research, industry reports, and field trial data. Case studies illustrate successful implementations on farms. It moves from an introduction to autonomous vehicle technology and specific applications, like self-driving tractors, to an analysis of economic and environmental consequences. Finally, it culminates in a discussion of ethical and societal issues.

This book stands out by offering a balanced perspective, acknowledging both the potential benefits and drawbacks of autonomous farm vehicles. It doesn't shy away from controversial subjects like job displacement and data privacy, making it an invaluable resource for agricultural professionals, policymakers, and anyone keen to understand the future of food production and sustainable agriculture.
