This was production ready - its not driverless but is a big step in that direction and way beyond what anyone else has commercially yet

The two biggest problems are range and weight with battery technology. 5 hours work is simply not enough it need to be at least double that which leads on to weight and size. Despite what was said above in the article weight is an issue or rather compaction is but the two are linked.

I guess you get identified as a likely potential future customer for it ?

Looks like it is happening now, Europe in three years.
The green marketing machine rises again
https://seedotrun.com/video.phpAs soon as you hear such tired old cliches as 'revolutionise' or 'the future is here' you know that you are in the company of an almighty pile of BS.
'Farming reimagined' is another one. It's all hype, some might be a little more worthy than the rest but don't be bedazzled by any of it.
If I could buy one and run it in the uk I would !
They say Europe 2021, maybe autumn 2020 if you want to be the guinea pig, Just one more year with the JD750.If I could buy one and run it in the uk I would !
I’m not sure if it still exists but If you look back on the british farming forum about 15-20 years ago you will find a post by a guy called Clive who had just got a very early 8000t tractor with auto-steer
He posted about what a game changer it was and how it would be almost standard on arable tractors within a decade
Others replied that it was a gimmick, not needed as they could drive perfectly without it, They worried it would replace skilled men , said it was too expensive to ever become widely adopted etc ........
Let’s revisit this thread in 2040 !

What is stopping you. The technology does not look that sophisticated

I do think things like 12 metre drills will depreciate very fast when this tech takes off.
I have seen it too and it is not nice, but you cannot put the clock back 100yrs and start again.If Canada were to return the land to the indigenous people then I very much doubt that there would be a "chronic staff shortage". There is a degree of racism in rural Canada that has to be seen to be believed, the settlers don't like the first nations and why should the first nations bother their arse working for the white man who stole their land?
