Dear Michigan Farmer – Get Ready For Robot Tractors

Concerned about driverless cars being a menace on the roads?

How about a combine with a MIND OF IT'S OWN?

It's about to happen. This year. Starting in the potato fields of Idaho.

According to CBS News, the tractors being built by Farb Guidance Systems will be half the size of a normal tractor, with no seat or steering wheel. David Farb, the owner of the company, is a potato farmer himself and says he's tested these on his farm and had no problems.

So, get one of these things, hit the "start" button and go take a nap in your pole barn.

Here's the story.
