Autonomous farm machinery is far ahead of autonomous cars. GPS and harvest data have allowed micro dosing of fertilizers. Continuous autonomous UAV monitoring of fields is coming and will allow micro dosing of pesticides. Feed and manure handling are automated. Strains of human edibles have been developed that facilitate automated machine harvesting. Farming can be highly automated. It’s just a matter of when automation becomes cheaper than hand labor.
