Self-driving tractors that use artificial intelligence (AI) and GPS technology to complete farming tasks without human intervention are an emerging technology that promises to enhance agricultural productivity. They have already seen adoption in certain markets. For example, Monarch Tractors offers a fully electric, autonomous tractor that has been used in California wineries since 2020.

USD Analytics released a research report that forecasts the global autonomous far tractor market to grow by 25% by 2030. Key players currently in the market include John Deere, Kubota, CNH Industrial, AGCO, Yanmar, Fendt, Mahindra, Escorts, Trimble, Raven Industries, Topcon and Autonomous Solutions.

North America and Europe are the two primary markets for autonomous tractors. However, interest is rapidly emerging in the Latin America and Asia-Pacific regions.
