While I could not find a lot of information on this topic-I found it very interesting. This technology is still in the making but in the future they hope to have tractors that can detect a rollover coming and be able to prevent it despite what the operator is doing. This technology is developing much quicker with the automotive industry but is quickly approaching in agriculture as well. I almost feel that it is more important in ag, just because of all the tractors that are now capable of running on autopilot. The technology is able to measure the slopes of the land and completely disables the equipment when it reaches a dangerous level which prevents a rollover accident from occurring. I find this especially important in tractors because of the number of operators I know that disregard their safety belts. This technology has the ability to decrease agricultural related accidents drastically.
