Amazing innovation
Will they let you drive it autonomously 500 miles to the nearest service station because they won't let you fix their equipment that YOU own?
I like in be on the Boat…BOSS Man never know. 😂
How to check oil dipstick level, greases it, and water coolant/antifreeze level????
Dear John are scumbags
Bad idea if there was ever a cyber attack or an attack on our power grid say with an emp these machines would be nothing more than boat anchors. While technology can be good at some point you have to stop because it may work in theory or the classroom but not the real world.
How could an Indian farmer bought it.
No thanks, I want my right to repair my own products
Right to Repair please…
Great something else that's gonna be hacked and cost the farmers more to fix…
Excellent ☘️ÉIRE 🇮🇪
So who’s gonna be there when the engine decides to run away?
No
This is actually cool
Friendly reminder that John Deere is an anti-American, anti-consumer, and anti-right to repair company.
Now Bill Gates can work all of his farmland without farmers!!
Gimmicky at best. I'm sure it will help but you need to be local to change implements and help the unit out when things go wrong.
So now people can hack tractors.
Now farmers can work from the beach
Roomba!
Wonder if the future beings from the movie Interstellar use IOS and Android?
Cool. Better keep that comfortable seat and air-conditioned cab as we still need to farm in the event that a bad actor/government shuts down the internet devices.
Is it able to detect when the machine it’s pulling gets broken or plugged?
What if you're 1,301 miles away though? 🤷😅
demand for borrowing it for Berlin incoming
Nobody wants this!
Ask them for right to repair
That's cool. Now ask them to let you fix a tractor locally instead of at one of their facilities and see what happens.
No, just no.
This is a great idea. I am really looking forward to this technology, which could potentially enable people with disabilities to take on jobs such as driving heavy machinery which have been traditionally inaccessible for them.
i was watching Tomorrow never dies, and this reminds me of when bond was driving his car remotely from the bad guys
Great and when it breaks the farmer can’t even attempt to fix it due to John Deere software locking everything and making the poor farmer pay a crazy inflated price
They just lowered the cost of that trackter by $200k by not having to have anyone ever physically drive it!😮
