And so predictive ground speed automation is going to be primarily comprised of the base ground speed automation, the brain of the operation saying speed up, slow down, things like that.
That's the brain of it.
And then it has those two predictive inputs, the one being the forward cameras looking out in front of the machine, about 28 feet in front of the cutter bar.
as well as satellite views, which build a predictive yield map to understand what your yield is going to be throughout the field.
And so those subsystems come in, they tell the system, hey, you should probably speed up, slow down.
Year after year, you know, we're adding classifiers, we're adding more information, especially in the cameras or different crop types supported.
And so we're iterating
Every year, right?
We're getting out there testing all over the world down and just wrapping up or working through some Southern Hemisphere testing right now just to continue to add and iterate and improve all the subsystems.
Yeah.
So for me, I love working.
That's my favorite part, right, is getting out with customers.
We call them a lot of times cooperators if they have an early version of the software that they're working through.
But even early phase stuff, we would bring a solution in a box essentially and just put some temporary software or bring a combine out and say, hey, can you take a look at this and just give us your thoughts?
Are we heading in the right direction?
Would you use this?
Would you not?
Yeah, absolutely.
So yeah, a little peek behind the curtain.
A lot of those subsystems I talked about, they get developed kind of independently as their own projects, right?
