Abstract
Using autonomous vehicles (AVs) in farming operations is a viable way to reduce worker expenses and improve managerial effectiveness. This work explores the complex field of using unmanned aerial vehicles (AVs) in the agricultural sector, looking at the possible advantages and disadvantages of this new technology. First off, there are a lot of economic advantages associated with driverless vehicles. Their preciseness and uniformity in carrying out duties like planting, harvesting, and spraying can result in enhanced yields of crops and efficient use of resources. Moreover, autonomous vehicles (AVs) have the ability to function continuously, reducing idle time and increasing output in farming activities. Better allocation of resources and possible cost savings for farmers are made possible by this improved productivity, which eventually supports environmentally friendly farming methods. The article looks at the possible advantages and disadvantages of using autonomous vehicles (AVs) in the farming industry, with an emphasis on increasing productivity and cutting labour expenses. By carrying out activities consistently and precisely, AVs claim to boost productivity, which will maximize resource use while boosting crop yields. Furthermore, by automating monotonous jobs, they can help alleviate the workforce crisis by directing workers into higher demand positions on farms. To assure ethical adoption and optimize the advantages of AVs in agriculture, nevertheless, issues such high upfront costs, infrastructure needs, cybersecurity risks, and compliance issues must be tackled.
