1. John Deere's Focus on AI and Automation
I had always hoped that John Deere would blossom into the next world-class sportscar/supercar manufacturer, not an AI and robotics company! My logic is sound: Two of the most desirable, influential, and innovative sports car/supercar companies, Lamborghini and Porsche, started life as tractor companies. Alas, John Deere has bigger and better plans.
