eDrive by Autonomous Tractor Corporation turns any farm machine powered by diesel or ammonia into a voice controlled, semiautonomous workhorse.
San Francisco, California, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Autonomous Tractor Corporation (ATC), led by founder Terry Anderson, is transforming the future of farming by
officially announcing its groundbreaking voice-controlled, camera-guided, semi-autonomous
equipment platform, powered by its proprietary eDRIVETM system is a redesign of how modern
agriculture operates. Using four overlapping 120-degree high-resolution cameras instead of GPS
for precision farming, the system gives autonomous machines optical ‘eyes’ for superior
navigation and control.
But what truly sets this innovation apart is its voice interface. Farmers can call their tractors, give them instructions, and supervise operations without needing to navigate complex interfaces. “It’s
no different than telling a hired hand what to do,” said Terry. “Only this time the hand is a
machine.”
Originally launched as a concept in 2012, ATC’s autonomous solution has evolved significantly.
The team discovered that GPS-based systems couldn’t deliver the accuracy that today’s farmers
demand. Instead, ATC turned to optics, physics, and voice recognition to create something far
more intuitive, affordable, and farmer-friendly. Terry, whose background includes, physics,
mechanical and electrical engineering and decades of successful business leadership, stated,
“Today’s equipment is too expensive, complex and difficult to repair. We believe farmers deserve
better.”
A major focus of ATC’s launch is conversion packages for existing equipment. The conversion
process is efficient, taking about a week, and involves removing the existing drivetrain and
replacing it with ATC’s diesel-electric module. The system removes failure-prone components
such as transmissions and drive shafts and replaces them with a direct-to-wheel electric drive
connected via fiber optics to a central controller. “We’re working with equipment powered by
diesel or ammonia. Anything running on either of those fuels can be upgraded to use
eDRIVETM.” said Terry.
ATC is intentional about what autonomy means. “We don’t believe in 80,000-pound machines
running around without supervision,” emphasized Terry. “This is supervised autonomy.
Machines are doing the work, but always under the watchful eye of a farmer or technician. Just
like supervising a hired crew."

ATC eDRIVE™ is the future of farming.
Autonomous Tractor Corporation's patented eDRIVE™ is the first diesel electric tractor and farm equipment conversion package available anywhere. ATC's patented electric wheel motor system is a convenient all-in-one conversion package for farm equipment for today and in preparation for future ammonia fuel and ammonia fuel-cell use.
Diesel - Electric Tractor & Farm Equipment Conversion Packages
Due to large variations in farm equipment eDRIVE™ conversion packages are custom designed to meet the requirements of the equipment it is installed on. Designs sometimes take years to implement while others may take months.
The sprayer diesel-electric conversion package is only one of many applications.
We welcome farmers and corporations to work with us to solve their specific problems to further increase sustainability for today's farmer and generations to come.
