People who are always suspicious of others are often guilty of the same thing themselves.

But I do agree with you that identifying weeds isn't that big a deal if it's mass produced. Sure the software will be difficult to design. But once it's done it's done. Hell my cheapy digital camera can recognize poeple's faces. This stuff isn't trivial but copying software is free, so the more you sell, the cheaper the development cost is per unit.

If it makes a few mistakes it doesn't matter. The existing use of humans for weeding is pretty unreliable too. Also no need for an expensive robot grabber to dig them out, just spray them, burn them, mow them or whatever.
