Could Industrial Autonomous Vehicles Outpace Autonomous Cars By 2025?

With all the hype surrounding self-driving cars, some investors may be overlooking another sector that could be revolutionized by autonomous technology. In this segment of Backstage Pass, recorded on Jan. 5, Fool contributors Rachel Warren, Jason Hall, Trevor Jennewine, and Jamie Louko discuss a recent article by The Verge about Deere & Company's (NYSE: DE) soon-to-be-released autonomous tractor and whether industrial autonomous vehicle usage could outpace that of self-driving cars by the middle or end of the decade. Rachel Warren: Apparently, "agricultural equipment maker, John Deere, has announced its latest piece of autonomous farming kit, a package of hardware and software that combines machine-learning with the company's GPS-powered auto-steer features to create a fully autonomous tractor."
