ABSTRACT:
An agricultural utility vehicle includes a computer to execute the steps of storing data representing steering direction, position and speed of the agricultural vehicle; recognizing repeated drive events wherein each drive event comprises a plurality of serially performed functions including changing steering direction, changing speed and changing lift position of a hitch of the agricultural utility vehicle; displaying each function on a screen and enabling a user to skip functions and execute subsequent functions; executing the functions to automatically control the vehicle on private areas, which are determined in accordance with means for sensing position; blocking execution of the functions in public areas; deactivating control when obstacles are encountered, wherein the obstacles are recognized by way of signals received from cameras mounted on the agricultural vehicle; and periodically prompting a user for input.
