John Deere harvests the seeds of large vehicle autonomy

Deere & Co. today announced four new products at CES 2025. The biggest announcement is the addition of full autonomy to the 9 Series tractors, the largest and most powerful tractors in the John Deere portfolio.

The Moline, Ill.-based company also released a fully autonomous sprayer for orchards, announced pilot testing of an autonomous articulating dump truck (ADT) for mining operations, and launched an all-electric, fully autonomous commercial mower that will be released later this year.
