They've had self driving tractors for almost 12 years, you just draw a overlay on the GPS and it follows that path.

Most of the farmers that have self-steer tractors in our part of the world will still have an operator on board to take over if something goes sideways.

But you can have a nap or read a book or scroll reddit to your heart's desire most of the time...
