Autonomy has enormous market potential for future off-highway vehicles worldwide. While many automation solutions for autonomous operation are already available in individual applications, such as in construction machinery, mining, material handling, etc, autonomy is taking off in global agricultural machinery industrywide. The presentation will highlight key technologies that enable the manifold introduction and massive growth in agriculture and their likely impact on other off-highway machinery with solid reference to iVT Expo 2026 exhibitors.

• Why agricultural machinery will lead the off-highway autonomy introduction
• Key technologies for mobile machinery cooperation, interoperability, safety, reliability and HMI
• The role of AI-based control systems, environmental perception (camera, lidar, radar), wireless communication, functional safety and CRA readiness
• The role of remote operation systems, fleet management and ISOBUS data communication
• Impact on other off-highway machinery
