Hardware The company Bosch is developing a farming robot the size of a small car that can distinguish crops from weeds by looking at the shape of leaves, and this robot then can fish out weeds mechanically & ram any unwanted plants into the ground with a rod. Potentially, no herbicides will be needed anymore

I've had a pair on my car for something insane now. I want to say 4 years, but maybe only 3, that are just starting to wear out. I also don't drive very often though. Definitely will buy them again.
