I get your sentiment, but tractors generally drive based on GPS routes.

AI and data collection is useful for more intricate tasks, like spraying weeds, planting seeds, etc.

The article literally mentions that the tractors use AI to avoid obstacles in the first paragraph.

The tractor is still driving on a pre-programmed GPS route.

To avoid a semantics debate, I'll agree for a brief moment the AI is "driving" the tractor to avoid an object and get back on the pre-programmed route.
