We thought the rider fell off or something and it was going to crash. Then it turned and kept mowing. Park Roomba!

Nah, the guy was still there. He had to bring the robot to the place where it had to mow the lawn and he was observing it to make sure it didn’t fuck up. Plus, I’m sure he still had to do stuff like weed whacking, so his job is safe for the time being.
I’m pretty sure this is a remote controlled mower, not an autonomous one.
It really isn’t.

It doesn’t go into detail about how smart it is. It does say “drive by wire” but also say autonomous. I am pretty certain it is not meant to be used unattended.
There was a guy watching it who brought it in, but he didn’t have a remote control.
That is pretty scary. No e-stop when it hits a gas line. You just have to chase it down.
There’s fully autonomous mowers, I almost worked for a company that builds some.
I understand that their are autonomous mowers. I watch Hank the Tank. I just didn’t think this one was. Apparently it is largely autonomous but also has a remote.
