As of CES 2025 and 2026, John Deere's second-generation autonomy kit incorporates three Ouster OS1 lidar sensors for the 5ML Autonomous Orchard Tractor.
The 5ML uses a 3-pod configuration. The front pod and side pods each contain Ouster lidar sensors to create a 3D "depth map" of the canopy.
Beyond Deere's factory-built machines, Ouster has a massive footprint in the "Deere Ecosystem" through a partnership with Fieldin.
Since 2023, hundreds of older John Deere tractors have been retrofitted with Ouster OS1 sensors.
John Deere is targeting the sale of several thousand fully autonomous kits (both factory-installed and retrofits) in the 2026 fiscal year.
