I took a couple of the grandkids up to the playground at the school and there was a guy there cutting the schoolyards . Completely hands off . This thing has GPS , LIDAR , cameras , you name it . I talked to the guy that was running them . The technology is awesome . So is the price . About $60k a pop .

This is a Gravely mower with a Kawasaki gas burner , and about 50k in electronics mounted on it . NOT intended for residential use obviously . Those big wide open schoolyards are just right for this thing .

Yes I noticed it was a gasser...
It's cool but I wouldn't buy anything like that... I have several ZT mowers from $11k to $15k and even being older I'll drive them myself
What's the point if he's supervising it?

These are the electric mowers that used to be decently priced

He wasn't standing there watching the whole time . There was a playground full of kids less than a hundred yards away so he had to keep an eye on things . Then there are people like me that want to go look and ask questions ..
It's a perfect application for (semi) autonomous vehicles. Probably could supervise 2 or 3 of them and cut grass very quickly. Ever see what farm machinery can do these days?
