John Deere (Autonomy)
Scoped entry: covers only John Deere's autonomous-technology program (See & Spray, fully autonomous tractors, Perception Autonomy Kits); parent-wide business data is not tracked.
John Deere's autonomy program delivers AI-native agricultural systems: See & Spray uses boom-mounted cameras with onboard AI to identify individual weeds vs. crops in real time at 15 mph across 2,500 sq ft/sec, selectively triggering spray nozzles — achieving ~50% herbicide reduction and covering 5 million acres in 2025. The fully autonomous tractor (2025) uses 12 cameras with deep neural networks for 360-degree obstacle detection and autonomous field navigation without operator intervention. Systems are sold to commercial farming customers and distributed through John Deere dealers.
