Simple self driving lawn mower

I have built an effective, affordable, and safe self-driving lawn mower. Our mower uses off-the-shelf parts, and is optimized for cost to the consumer, while not compromising lawn mowing quality. We have done this by taking advantage of the lower part count of electric motors, and the lack of per-unit cost of software.
