Will the amazing agriculture supply chain be powered to a meaningful extent by autonomous equipment technology?

Today, farmers and growers are actively testing and deploying globally supplied, artificial-intelligence-based autonomous equipment for growing and harvesting.
Here are seven examples.
Hopville Farms is using autonomous electric tractor technology for blueberry production in Oregon.
