This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I’m in a park. The grass is being mown by a robot. (lemmy.world)

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

It doesn't go into detail about how smart it is. It does say "drive by wire" but also say autonomous. I am pretty certain it is not meant to be used unattended.

There was a guy watching it who brought it in, but he didn't have a remote control.

That is pretty scary. No e-stop when it hits a gas line. You just have to chase it down.

There’s fully autonomous mowers, I almost worked for a company that builds some.

I understand that their are autonomous mowers. I watch Hank the Tank. I just didn't think this one was. Apparently it is largely autonomous but also has a remote.
