The CNH Industrial Autonomous Tractor Concept (Full Version)

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 can see what you're saying if you own a very small farm like backyard maybe... but these farmers have tons to take care of and they harvest large areas for food. I don't think you're seeing this from a productive view. Farmers will get more accomplished and see data to plan for supplies appropriately. cutting costs in the future and eliminating errors. It does need improvement, but I see a lot of benefits to this for major production.

Endandering vital local services?If there is no need for people on a farm they can go in the education system or healthcare,after all i do not think healthcare would become automated any time soon maybe not after 100 years ,because we humans trust more each other when it comes to care or either teaching our young ones.

[@smokayman]

[@RJ1999x]

What this is really about is keeping the income of the farm equipment manufacturers up. Years ago the "big" tractors hovered around 100 HP and they sold for $8000, corn sold for $3 and milk was $12 , than the farming crisis hit, thanks to the geniuses in the government. Farm numbers went down, tractor sales dropped, to keep income up the price raised. Fast forward 30 yrs. The price of corn is $3 milk is $13 a 100 HP tractor is a $100000+. Yes yields have increased but so have costs, so your making less money now, yet paying more. So the solution is to farm more land make less money, take more risk give bankers more interest pay mfg more money! They know the american farmer is to stupid to stop, and the basic tractor is unchanged, the only way to add more money is to add more technology to it. So now rather than buy a new 250 HP tractor for $285000 we can sell it to him for $450000 and tell him his life will improve, he'll make more money by cutting expenses, which he can give to us in the way of interest and purchase price of the tractor. CaseIh keeps the income up, Joe farmer goes deeper into debt to show his neighbor what a good farmer he is, and his wife goes and takes a second job in town so they have food on the table, and health insurance, can put money away for there kids college, while he sits in the office playing video games called farming, drinking energy drinks stressed because all these money making ideas are breaking him. Its the perfect solution !

Guys, its a CONCEPT. Not a product reveal. Dont get y'alls panties in a bunch. Its basically a company saying "hey check out this thing we tried out! Its pretty damn cool but damn expensive so it wont be coming out anytime soon." If anything, the developments in trying to create this tractor could help out in other areas such as self-driving tugs for aircraft or trailers since this technology would have to factor in the behavior of the equipment it is pulling.

I’ve always wondered and thought if someday down the line a farmer, rancher, executives, managers, whoever would look at a pictures from today and the past of old tractors and combines, machines we built and held pride in, open fields and old dairy farms since past, ranchers on horseback carrying on old traditions. The old miners that drove mighty machines and huge mines or worked in the ground for hours risking it all. Maybe even the small mom and pop stores, the “little” men and women owning small ships and businesses that built our cities and towns. Maybe they sit back in the chair, look and think at the automation doing the simple, hard, or more Joyous work. The farmers not at the head of the combine or the tractor in the fields, ranchers watching cattle from screens as machines do the vaccines and brands, all the mines gone to renewable energy sources, anything you want is at your door in minutes, possibly the thrill of the open road is gone as you can fly or levitate light speed across the world. They think I want to go back to being there, and experience the times before full automation.

He still can babysit 2 machines at the time and even harvesting with a combine,maybe not harvesting too but still,it is a lot better and one other guy to refill the sowing machines or the tractor just in case so 2 people doing 4 jobs without counting for transport but with it it would be 3 people doing 5 jobs so it is great and actually as far as i saw you mainly need to make the "roads" on which the tractors must drive and they have system which will stop them if anything is on their way.Also as Jayson Я said in the aviation the systems of airplanes(talking about the civil planes) are mostly automated and there are 2 pilots for babysitting them,there are radars on the airports which guide the systems of the plane to land on the run-way the only part which humans do mostly is take-off.

I do not think the people who are writing about how automation will make the farms less....farms or that it would be stupid are not farm hands or farmers there can be so much other job done on the farm. I am still not an adult but wanted to try out full work day on my father's farm and oooh boy harvesting 12-14 hours and being able to take a breath and chill only if your harvester is full and you are awaiting a transport to arrive and harvesting is quite boring and your muscles start to hurt a little and also there is the needing after that or at the morning to wash up the machines if anyone had washed a harvester he would know how much time you need for that and how fucking hard it is to clean it at least decently sometimes,oh and if some parts brake?

[@prezzle208]

Pe goe I don't entirely follow what you're saying there at the beginning but I know what harvest is like. I've been doing it since I was six. I don't mind the work. I'm going to college so I can manager farms and work harvest for a living. It's in my blood. I'm not opposed to autonomous equipment there is just a few bugs that will need worked out. For example where I live we have lots of lava rock in the fields and when the ripper hits them you need to raise up or you'll continue to hit rock and damage the shanks. It will also need to be able to make a judgement of when it can drop full depth again. Overall I think it's good technology with good potential it just needs fine tuned.

I knew this would be a thing. it starts off with simple tasks and gets more advanced and capable with every iteration. just wait for what will happen to the trucking buisnesses

[@yellowdrink9428]

Autonomous tractor are not problem in farm sector, most of the work is done by families this technology is welcome, agricultural sector has never been a major employer, at least in the field.

[@bladenpetro8352]

Man these fs graphics are amazing and the a I got better

[@armaansingh5178]

It will come in India after 200 yrs

[@Istvan4331]

This is just another illustration of how human labor is going to be drastically changed in the fairly near future. Combine operator free farm machinery with trucks and cars which will operate without a driver and right there millions of current jobs will disappear. If that new free time is used creatively it will be one thing. If it results in involuntary loss of jobs on a mass scale that will be another.

[@jonathantan2469]

In a few generations, plowing by horse has been replaced by tractor plowing. The pickup & semi has replaced the horse cart. Work horses have mostly disappeared from farms. People in their 80s might still remember horses being widely used on farms. With the horses, also went the work of the stablehand, the blacksmith, and the groom.

Psycho-Pass is an anime that plays in the future, one part of it goes to one of Japans regions which has been turned entirely into farmland and is completely uninhabited by human population. Everything is automated, the Farm Machines are, the loading into the trucks, replanting, keeping the crops alive, keeping everything safe (from possible intruders), driving the trucks to the city and processing the food is largely automated as well. It looked very cool

[@ZIGZAG12345]

The app the farmer was using made me think that it'd be a bit like playing one of the earlier Command and Conquer games! If I was a farmer who used that app I'd have the C&C soundtrack playing when I used it! :D

[@Akenaton2223]

Essa nova tecnologia vai gerar mais desemprego !

[@alexmachin8202]

You say it can work 24hours so whos gonna fill up the drill?

[@SyreViper]

drones AHHAAHHAH

[@sameteyupkoc9128]

Another autonomous tractor LOL

[@howespine8642]

I like the part where they show the guy fixing fence! If he’s to lazy to drive a tractor he’s probably to lazy to fix fence!

[@catgirlinspace]

It's not laziness, its efficiency.

[@Johnybear1010]

New Farming Simulator looks good DAMN

[@craiggrimes1700]

awsome

[@mathman1923]

best part of farming is driving tractor. now get a robot to shovel manure, do chores like that would be sweet. why does the robot need lights at night?

[@romuloramosdias1137]

for the farmer to localize him at the field.... well, that's what I think

[@aunyx8916]

Well, driving à tractor is not farming. Light is necessary probably to use the camera to correct the trajectory, if the field is not flat, the gps makes the trajectory to deviate , you have to correct it if you want to make straight lines, that way you don't let holes in your work. And using the camera is also a simple way to detect obstacles. It may also have something to do with the law, you can't let a vehicle run at night without a decent lightning.

[@mathman1923]

it is not all of farming, but it is a part I would not choose to automate. The lidar/radar don't need light to work, but I suppose so you can keep an eye on things it would need the light for the camera

[@aunyx8916]

+Jay Groom Of course radars doesn't need light to work but you can use the camera as an additional sensor by having the image processed by a computer.

[@bobthebuilder2922]

MrThisIsMeToo Lol😂

[@felipesemnick]

Why not cover the surface of tractors with non-planar solar cells to provide fuel economy?

[@TheSimarious]

unfortunately they energy required for pulling any implement through he earth is far greater than what can be produced via solar panels. Maybe one day this will be possible, but not at the present moment in time.

[@bunnywarren]

You would be better off using a large solar farm to charge tractors containing large batteries. At any one time, half the tractors panels wouldn't be generating power if it was covered in them. This would be very wasteful and not cost effective. Dust and mud would also be a problem.

[@felipesemnick]

The Tool Guy You're right, but let's see how it goes agriculture when oil is no longer viable to be extracted. Anyone who has tried to remake the tractor design as they did with the hondas and audis will be decades ahead.

[@felipesemnick]

If all engineers think the same way you're thinking, in 2030 the world will starve to death ... Hugs!

[@TheSimarious]

I don't thin that battery powered tractors will be a thing for a very long time, the best thing to do would be to look to make a synthetic oil alternative. How ever this has already been found in the 1900's when they used hemp oil to create synthetic oils. but the oil company's played the US senate to out law the plant, and they re-named it to marijuana. I wouldn't worry about us running out of oil, as soon as it becomes less profitable for oil company's, they will start to use an alternative. Back to your original point solar power would be useful however its converting the power into toque and using it tat is the problem. you'd run the battery's flat in minuets doing cultivations.

[@DaneForrester]

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.

[@HardikPrajapati]

Nice

[@reiniervanderheijden1260]

it might be good for the field, but then imagine how many jobless people there are...

[@MrEndzo]

No

[@simonlausee1755]

offroad idiot, people could get jobs building the tractors, building the robots that partly build the tractors, or programming the tractors and robots

[@reiniervanderheijden1260]

Simon Lausee if you do that job you do a few tractors a day (tractor builders are allready there) and you need less people in total

[@jacobl1657]

And remember this is at max production, most of the time machinery plants run at about 50% to 75% capacity

[@LundBrandon]

there needs to be someone to run the farm

[@darcyheald3644]

All I seen this vid was a farmer baby sitting the tractor you might as well do it yourself with all the stuffing around involved , and this is just taking the fun out of farming and ruining farm kids futures

[@3.6roentgen61]

darcy heald It is inevitable that there might be some uproar considering people's way of life is threatened by automation. But let's not forget that the point of agriculture is to produce food above all not to provide certain individuals with a way of life.

[@pegoe7784]

One guy was babysitting 2 machines...and one was even harvesting so 1 man 3 jobs or 1 man 2 jobs...i do not see your point really and well if you are harvesting and watching for the 2 other machines there would be one other guy to also would refill the sowing machine or the tractor and he might also just in case watch for them or just to be there to "tell" them when they must go for refilling so 2 people doing 3 jobs.And as it was said the transport would be automated so i might say as well 2 people doing 4 jobs.

[@ryanheier6421]

I totally agree with you

[@buntymodifywheelworks]

how much area cover by the controller of this tractor?

[@tofuComputer]

All of you making negative comments - try to imagine you are still using a horse... and replace "autonomous tractor" with just "tractor". Unless you are Amish I think you get my point.
