Autonomous driving is being commercialised more quickly on farms, mines and construction sites than on public roads, where regulation and safety concerns slow progress. In these controlled environments, fewer pedestrians and unexpected variables make deployment easier. John Deere has begun distributing fully autonomous tractors, and Caterpillar says its autonomous mining trucks are 30 percent more productive. South Korean companies are also accelerating adoption with certified autonomous farm machinery and AI-based controls for construction equipment.
