My cousin is a John Deere dealer on the side (very rural area) and he's got several "machines" that are all but driverless -- he has someone in them at all times just in case. They are all about GPS signals and Dept. of Ag satellites... literally, my cousin or his "employees" sit and listen to music in air conditioned cabs while the "machine" (they are all specialized now, and fewer plain old tractors are sold now except to the very small farmers) just does it's thing... also gets continuous instant feedback down to the square foot when going over a field spraying fertilizers or herbicides and the computers adjust how much is applied every square foot -- something people were unable to do -- I know some who tried.
