Right, but how long will it last before it breaks? If it can only do an acre of crops before part of the mechanism breaks it won't get adopted by farmers.
How long until your car breaks? These aren't going to be flimsy machines. What makes you think they would be?
That's why I'm asking, there's no details in the article about its expected lifetime and that's important for adoption
I meant to convey that the machine isn't going to fail after one acre or any other small amount. It won't be built out of legos ;)
And shouldn't the end-game be to eliminate the need for human labor for these grueling jobs? Even if the first iteration isn't quite as good, it is important to look to the future.
I agree that it's a good thing, but I don't think you understand the point I'm making, so I'm ending it here.
