MOLINE, IL. – At CES 2025, John Deere showcased several new autonomous machines that support customers in agriculture, construction and commercial landscaping. Building on Deere’s autonomous technology first revealed at CES 2022, the company’s second-generation autonomy kit combines advanced computer vision, AI and cameras to help machines navigate their environments.

Quarries supply the essential raw materials vital for building roads, buildings and infrastructure. It’s a complex operation to mine, process and transport materials. Using the second-generation kit, the ADT will handle the repetitive tasks of transporting material around the quarry to facilitate different steps in the cycle.

“Our customers all have work that must get done at certain times of the day and year, yet there is not enough available and skilled labour to do the work,” said Jahmy Hindman, chief technology officer at John Deere. “Autonomy can help address this challenge. That’s why we’re extending our technology stack to enable more machines to operate safely and autonomously in unique and complex environments.”
