The Future of Self-driving Cows
You may be thinking that is one hell of a typo. But it isn’t.
So let’s talk cows.
Cows are kind of like dogs. Domesticated. Different personalities. Fat cows. Skinny cows. You get the drift. The main point is that we took these animals and we have integrated them into our society. We have domesticated them.
For the most part, cows where domesticated because they are tasty piles of high quality protein that we like to eat. They take grass, corn and other plants that not even our most devout vegetarians can eat and convert it to wonderful protein rich meats and milk via a symbiotic relationship with millions of hungry little bacteria in their stomachs. It’s a pretty good deal. It was super important in the early days of mankind that we had access to protein. It has even been said that access to meat and milk helped Genghis Khan conquer Asia citing his mens improved health from quality protein.
But Ol’ Genghis has been dead for a while.
The world has changed.
Cattle are more than just domesticated. They are one part of a huge supply chain that aims to provide cheap, sustainable, high quality and safe protein to every single person on the planet that wishes to consume it.
