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

    Why does the fact that it is riderless have anything to do with it being combustion powered or not. How are those two things connected.

      See the second paragraph. It changes the entire approach to mowing.

      (Though I’m headed towards natural lawns that don’t need this kind of maintenance at all.)

        Yeah. The whole idea of growing something, watering it, fertilizing and caring for it, so you can chop it down is pretty crazy.

        It doesn’t look like this is dedicated to one lawn. It looks like it is meant to be moved from place to place, to provide a service.

          Then you have plenty of opportunity to do battery swaps as part of the usual setup. Or charging it with an inverter in the truck in between jobs.
