We thought the rider fell off or something and it was going to crash. Then it turned and kept mowing. Park Roomba!

It’s more likely remote controlled. There’s probably a guy with a controller near by. They’ve been around for a couple of decades now, but are generally only used where an angle is too steep or too close to a highway or cliff face.

Seems it’s fully Self-driving (at least, following a map/defined boundaries)
There was a guy who brought it over, but he was not using a remote control. It was automated.
I don’t get it, don’t you guys have a lawn bot at home? Who in their right mind would mow their lawn by hand these days? Sure, this is scaled up by a considerate amount, but its the same technology (though I imagine this boy uses beacons for navigation as opposed to gps or wire).
We have 1 1/2 acres. Mowing it by hand, even with a self-propelled mower, sucks. Especially in August. If we could afford a lawn bot, we’d definitely get one.
Ok, that’s quite a lot, wow! Consumer grade bots won’t cut it. You’d need at least 3 of them to make it work somehow.
