Autonomous combine working its way through the harvest. Kids playing in the field. One of them gets bonked on the head and passes out. A good farmer has a chance of seeing the kid in time. A robot? Hmmmmm ...
I live in the Corn Belt. Every farmer has the dread that there will be something that the farmer never sees getting hit and killed. Radar could detect a child (or dog, deer, or pig) and give a fair warning to the farmer running the machine.
