We live in a changing world and farming is changing with it. Our growing population and a greater environmental awareness means farmers need to produce more food more sustainably from the same amount of land. It’s ultimately technology that will make the difference – and CNH Industrial is at the forefront of this change. We set out to take technology in a different direction that would allow farmers to integrate new technology into existing fleets and give them access to real time data wherever they are. We believe this technology will, in the future, change the face of farming for the benefit of all. This concept autonomous tractor, has been conceived by CNH Industrial’s innovation team, is truly independent and driverless. Filmed entirely on location on a working farm in Kentucky, USA in June 2016. All live footage is original and without CGI enhancements.

I trained as an Agricultural ENGINEER many years ago and I am so proud that during my lifetime, Agriculture Engineering has adavanced so far. I am a proud man.

inb4 an acquisition by mahindra
-
they forgot to mention that suddenly a virus infects the computers and these autonomous tractors attack human kind
-
This is not coming out till ten years from now or more. Its not safe enough. And the idiot who said the farmer will leave a 400 grand tractor on its own is retarded apparently hes never met a farmer or even been out to a farm.
-
thats crap the world will turn robotic then what do we do?
-
So will this system know if a bearing is out on the equipment it is pulling?
-
wow this is dum
-
Trump is loving this right now. No more Mexican farm workers.

Did you see the guy working on a tractor while the automated version was working? it's not about replacement, it's about extension... doing more with less and chasing the almighty dollar fully understanding farming inputs are NOT cheap with weather and human error why not go for a total precision farming package to enhance the farmers bottom line? To not embrace automation and the future turns farmers into hobbyists.. sure we'll have hobby farms or low yield farms but the future belongs to the robot tractor. A small operation could service more acreage or grow and lease more land and put more land into tillage. And they made a clear path with automation working hand in hand with driver in cab work so a smaller operation can extend their reach without added labor costs. Multiple machines making true one pass coverage possible is incredible, for weather windows alone.
The next step in the evolution will be far larger machines that in 20 years are not powered with diesel engines but Thorium or some sort of nuclear energy where one machine can work years with one "fueling".... by then we'll have figured out better portable industrial atomic power sources that generate thousands of horsepower on demand (the diamond battery solution looks interesting), so match machines six times as large that can run for years and handle thousands of acres autonomously, and in some AI which by then will be we'll .... you don't need human integration.. OK that's a little scary.... -
Is this a new mode in Farming simulator 2017? 😂
-
Now the machine also makes the unemployed people in the agricultural sector
-
i wonder how much this thing costs
-
no no noooo
-
The rapture,we done now boss,plenty off mars ,how?
-
Replicators,hellya,armchair farmer,truffels,say what.
-
Around here the Auto Equipment would be getting my help up to service them. Which might be wonderful. LOL
-
Essa nova tecnologia vai gerar mais desemprego !
-
sweet. we now have courseplay IRL
-
Interestingly, people think it will steal their job. Do you know 98% of the population use to work on a farm 200 years ago, now only 2% of the population work in a farm? I am grateful that they stole all the jobs, so we can work on the meaningful things.

This would be amazing tech for agrichem spraying though. All people, farmers or not should be able to agree on the obvious benefits of that.
