They’re selling the software that makes all the shit actually work. So you’d get a tractor with a bunch of processing power and have to program it yourself.
I’m willing to bet we could get open source software that works way better.
Likewise, if Microsoft stopped making Windows and everyone had to switch to something open source, the quality of personal computing would go through the roof.
Also, I think it’d just be smarter to nationalize the tech. Have the government bid out new advancements and maintenance, but the actual IP is owned by the government. It’s wild that we’re letting a single company control effectively 80% of our agriculture. Huge national security risk.
You’d need an organization to manage the satellite assets at least. That’s presumably the biggest barrier to overcome. They have a custom gps network specifically built for them
